I can't thank you enough for the e-mails and messages! I am doing so well. I am all settled in to my cozy new apartment. I do not have an internet connection yet. I will reply to individual email and post pictures as soon as I get a connection set up.
My apartment is super small, but perfect for me! Luckily I have a separate "laundry room" with brand new washing machine. Really it's more like a small tiled closet with a drain. They do not use dryers in Korea! The other foreign teachers do not have this luxury. Most have to dry their clothes by stringing them all over the already small space. I am in desperate need of a tea kettle and mug. I am currently making coffee by boiling water in a frying pan and drinking out of a bowl. Meals that I have prepared at home are squid flavored ramen noodles. I don't know how to cook anything else, nor do I have the equipment to do so. My bathroom, or should I say shower with toilet and sink is a lovely shade of grandmother sea foam green. I shower over the toilet-I just consider it convenient. The food I have been eating here makes a taco bell fart seem like a warm summer breeze. Speaking of food, I ate a whole baby squid at lunch yesterday. The little guy was in my mystery seafood soup. Oh and my floor!!! It's heated! I would compare it to a padded lamenent floor-squishy and warm! My bed is tiny and hard. I have bruises on my hips from sleeping on it. I used my thermarest for padding, but unfortunately it is leaking air and flat within an hour. More with pictures...
I have been pretty bored, and so ready for school to start. Unfortunately, the school is shut down this week due to swine flu. This means more time for me to roam around my city and discover new things. I am at the school now getting ready to go to the hospital for my health check. I walk to school and that takes about 20 minutes. Everyday I have to pass a dunken donuts...temptation. I don't really have any other updates. I just sit around my apartment. Luckily I have cable TV that gets really outdated US shows. It snowed yesterday...
It snowed! Oh my. Let me know what you need. We didn't get you paid. We can send you things instead if we can't send you money.
