I was so happy to get moved into the apartment. The dorms were nice in that they allowed all the new teachers to bond, however, I do like having my own space and not having to live out of a suitcase.
The apartment is a bit small, but it's more than enough room for me...and certainly bigger than my guest room that I had been living in for the month and a half before I left. It's a studio apartment with a bathroom and a laundry area. In the main area, I have a full sized bed (woohoo), small table, desk and a dresser. Along the kitchen wall, there is a refrigerator, microwave, stove and sink. There is no oven. There are more than enough dishes and such...as we all know that I don't cook.
The bathroom is typical of those in korea as it does not have a seperate shower. Instead, the shower head is connected to the sink and the water sprays onto the floor. Different than what I'm used to, but works just fine.
I have a little enclosed patio area that houses a washing maching and my closet. The washer buttons are all in Korean, so I just take a guess everytime I need to use it. So far, so good. There are no dryers so the laundry is dried on the rack that's in my room. The clothes dry pretty quickly with the AC running as it sucks the moisture out. In the winter, I hear that the fastest way to dry the clothes is by putting them on the floor because the floor is heated. We'll see.
If there's anything else you'd like to know about the place, drop me a line.
