Can we Say Awesome???

Now that I cleaned the apartment and its in some sort of order I can share some pictures. It is by far the nicest & largest apartment I have ever lived in. There are 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms. There are only 2 apartments per floor but my apartment number is 1307 instead of 1301 or 1302... No superstition about the number 13 here. (Have yet to see my neighbor if I even have one)

Lets start the tour...


Here are my apartment keys.


Between the 2 previous English teachers that lived in the apartment all furnishings are provided. Granted its all the schools property so I'm basically renting everything (even the utensils.)

The living room...


The tall white appliance is the air conditioner. Decent size TV (opted not to sign up for cable). Behind the white curtain is the balcony that spans across the living room and my bedroom.

The kitchen.

There is a dishwasher which I probably won't use out of habit. There is a separate refrigerator for the side dishes (반찬)!!! No idea why you need one but I do.



I love the skinny drawer for seran wrap/aluminum foil.


My bedroom... There are two other bedrooms but there's nothing in them so would make a boring picture.


The amount of storage is to die for.

Onto the bathrooms..


Note, there is a shower head but no shower curtain. The entire bathroom is your shower stall essentially. Its annoying to have to take out the toilet paper and towels so they don't get soaked. According to Christina (the Head English teacher), it is possible to shower without getting them wet but I have yet to master that...

Another feature is that the heating is through the floor (바닥 난방). So there are no vents in the apartment. Figuring out how to turn on the heat was a feat in itself. Without turning on the thermostat I won't have hot water either. The next appliance to conquer is teh washing machine.

For just little old me it is on the large side (i.e. way too much to clean). I have the heat turned off in the unused bedrooms to save some money cause I nearly had a heart attack when the building manager told me that the heating can cost ~$200!!!
