Hello! So, it's been a few months of some major adjustments. After a wonderful 5 weeks in the States (home, beach reunion, D.C., Boston...) I headed back to Korea. About a month after I moved back, I finally moved out of the church and into this glorious apartment! I have 2 roommates, Sharon and Sarah, who are both Korean Americans though Sharon lived in Korea until the end of middle school before moving to Ann Arbor, MI. We absolutely LOVE our apartment because it has a living room, a nice big kitchen with an OVEN (very rare in Korea!) to satisfy my love for baking. It also has a washer and DRYER (also, not to be found in Korea), and a bathtub (another rarity). It's in an area called Noksapyeong, which is near the army base and thus became a district with a lot of foreigners living around here, but also a lot of great ethnic restaurants! We even have American electric outlets as well as Korean ones in our house. I have a cute little room and it really feels homey now. Here's some pics & I tried to do a video of my room since it's small and hard to photograph. Anyway, I thank God for the blessing of this house and my roomies, and it really feels like a haven after a long day of work, etc.

My hours are long and not the best, but I am trying to be positive and to take care of my health as much as I can. Hope you're all doing well, and I'll be back sooner than 4 months ;)
Awww, you still have that patchwork pillow!
ReplyDeleteYour new apartment looks GREAT! How nice to have a living room! It must feel so good to be able to spread out a bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics and video. As much as I think about you, it will be great to be able to picture where you are.
LOVE,
