My Dorm Room for a Year...







I know you were expecting pictures of my apartment. But I basically got a dorm room... It's definitely the smallest place I've ever seen anywhere... while I was doing my research about South Korea... nowhere did I find a place THIS small.... not on youtube... not googled... nowhere.. it's tiny... BUT... it's clean.. and brand new.... and that's very important... i'd way rather have a small, comfy and clean place than a palace infested with cockroaches... as I've heard some expats receive.... okay.. here's the pics... also... All of the stuff you see in this picture was bought for me by my school who was very generous for taking me out... they literally said 'get anything you need'... they asked if i wanted a new computer... haha.. although i was tempted.... i did not give in.... but i did get a pretty pimped out chair!! and desk... laura picked out two nice chairs and a table for our dinners and stuff... all of the instructions on everything is obviously in Korean... so... whenever I wash my clothes ... something is bound to go wrong... (not much different from when my Dad helps was my clothes.. "Hey Dad... is our washer Korean too?".. jk) Sooo .. back to the point.. below is a picture of my wonderful co-teacher Kim-Mee-Kyung and her boyfriend Jeun-Il... They were both extremely helpful moving me in ... helping with my alien registration card...helping with any questions I had... etc... The only thing great about having a tiny apartment is that the sink is only 2 feet from your bed; however, this only comes in handy if you wake up in the middle of the night with a severe case of food poisoning.... yeah... wonderful.... more on this in a later post...............
