My New Digs

So far my living situation in Seoul have consisted of being stuffed into a co worker's extra room and living day to day from my suit case.  Per usual.  BUUUUTT today I got the keys to my new bachelorette pad - or what they call housing here in Korea.  

The purple smart chip is what opens my door (which verbally greets me btw) which is a bit terrifying because it is quite small and oh so lose-able.  


Smart key
                                             




When you first walk in immediately to your left are my cute little kitchen and my closet.  



There is a see through cabinet whose door stays propped open and is what I call my "library"



Next to my fridge (which is currently serving as a coat rack) is where this Diva keeps all her threads.  I'll let you gaze at the magnificent wardrobe that is mine.

I know, super impressive 
My washroom is separated from my house and also is kind of my exotic patio, by exotic I meant arctic.  



and since everything is in Hangeul, I pretty much close my eyes and press buttons in hopes that my clothes come out clean.
Can't read this? That makes two of us!
Korean bathrooms take some getting used to.  Mainly the shower is just a long steel hose hooked into the wall that you hold above your head in the same room as the toilet and sink.  It's all just a bit odd for girl who has had the luxury of having shower walls.  And a shower head that holds itself up.  It's like these people think I work out or something.
Sink, metal hose, drain in the floor.  Shower. 
This is my floor/water heating system.  It's pretty baller.  And another thing I don't know how to operate.


Well crew, that was my episode of cribs.  Just to recap and put everything together for you:

here's the view from the bathroom
