My Apartment

Ok....this one has been a long time coming. Here are the long-awaited pics of my apartment. My laundry room is reminiscent of many American laundry rooms--not the most pleasant of places. But the green machine does manage to clean my clothes, so for that I'm thankful. Please note that there is no dryer here, so I have to hang all of my clothes and sheets to dry. This means that one load of laundry takes about 12 to 16 hours. Awesome, huh? My bathroom is actually not the typical Korean bathroom. I actually have a TUB! Most Korean bathrooms just have the showerhead mounted on the wall without a shower curtain or anything so the water goes everywhere. My kitchen is pretty standard for a Korean apartment: small fridge, a two-burner stove (no oven here!) , and minimal counter space. My bedroom is my living room. No sofa, no comfy chairs. My bed's sheet and duvet set cost me a little over $100--sheets and things are quite expensive here. And it's not even high quality. I have a rickety table and two chairs circa 1991. The table is where I have my computer and where I do my makeup in the morning. The metal rack is my "dresser" because the upright "wardrobe" box thing isn't enough to keep all my clothes. It only has my hanging stuff in it. Off my bedroom is the balcony. There's a closet out there. I keep my luggage and my vacuum in there. The balcony is nice in the warmer months because I can put the drying rack out there and it speeds up the dry time for my clothes. Miami also really liked hanging out there too. So there you have it. This is where I live :)
