Living Conditions

A quick note to where I am living and how I am doing it!! My
apartment, which initially seemed to be the one bad aspect of my
EPIK experience, has become almost endearing with time. It is not the
biggest (though not the smallest I've seen either!!), and I possess no
air conditioning or internet (I get my fridge in about an hour
though!), but it has grown on me a bit and with the windows open and a
pretty decent fan I picked up, I can handle the warm conditions. It
will be winter soon enough anyway, though then I will be dealing with
heating issues!! I hear, though, that the Koreans use a floor heating
method that is actually quite convenient and well thought out.
Apparently the steam and temperature is used from hot water to heat
the floor above yours, so I should be able to make it through the
winter OK. I am actually rather excited about it, since being from
Texas I could use a little variety.

I live north in my neighborhood, and caught a big break by living off
of the Woninjae subway station, so I don't have much of a commute and
I can travel pretty easily from place to place. I have friends who
have 30 minute bus rides/walks just to get to the subway, so I
definitely caught a break. I am about 6 stops south of main downtown
nightlife, and 4 or so north of my school, so I can't complain.

I forgot to mention something! My camera broke, so the pictures have
stalled, but I have a backup plan up and running so hopefully I will
have access to some pictures from my travels sooner rather than later.
The only good note is that with no more moving around (airport to
orientation to placement), nothing is really going anywhere. I have
been looking for a camera repair shop, so I am hoping to deal with
this problem quickly!

I have actually typed out all 4 of these new posts consecutively, so
at this point I can't tell if I have fingers or not. I think I might
leave off here! Today was actually the second anniversary of my
school, so I already have a day off, hence being at a PC Bang at 4:00
PM my time!!

I am thinking about you all always, and I would love to hear from you all!!
