A,B,C,D,E,F... K?






For the past five weeks, I have been living in a lovely little place called Korea. Things are interesting here, to say the least. There's the usual foreigner observations; jaywalking is virtually non-existent, all of the women wear heels all of the time (no, seriously) and apparently there is no such thing as a snow-plow. Life is generally good, but for the little things that make it hard. There are also the little things that make it easy. Public transportation, for one. Heated floors is another. My personal favorite is Harry Potter being on television at least once a week (what can I say, it's a sick obsession?)

I suppose I should say a little bit about my living situation. I kind of love it. Compared to some of the housing I have seen, there's a lot that could be changed. However, compared to a lot of the housing I have seen I damn skippied lucked out! I have a nice, big bed. Hard, but big. And, of course, the floors are heated. This is a little tidbit I really wish we had in the States. Probably the only thing I don't like is that I have to shit where I shower. Literally. Not a big fan of damp toilet paper and a nice, wet seat! Oh well.

All in all, life here is... life. I've done some exploring and there is definitely more to come. After all, it's only been a month!

  2. look at the photo of my bathroom. the shower head is attached to the sink. it actually screws me up sometimes, because you have to switch it over from sink faucet to shower head and i forget to switch it back when i'm done showering. there have been a few times when i've doused myself fully clothed because of it...

  4. It is weird enough that the shower is like in the middle of the bathroom - but why is it so close to the sink - how do you get close to it if you have to stand in front of a sink? haha weird! Just so you know I literally LOL when I thought of you turning on the sink and getting hit with the shower - remember when we poured cold water on you in the shower! CLASSIC! MEW ;)
