I have been craving banana shakes and smoothies something fierce recently, but there was one hitch--I didn't have a way to freeze the bananas. I thought I had a mini fridge that was supposed to have a tiny freezer compartment. I had found a small door to what would have been the compartment in a cabinet while cleaning the apartment, but it didn't fit in the mini fridge.
Turns out, the freezer is under the fridge and the door was broken so all I saw was the wood panel door opening to what looked to be a metal box with no handle or markings indicating it was a freezer. The apartment handyman fixed the door and after I removed the very freezer-burnt dead animal slices left by the previous tenant, I'm on my way to banana soft serve!
I'm not sure if it's because I'm a foreigner or just policy in Korea, but to replace the lights above my bed (which have been flickering and not really working) I had to pay for the bulbs.
Oh, to know Korean. There's a study group tonight. I'm going to check it out and see if it helps me at all.

I like the 'freeze burnt dead animal slices' part... and those smoothies are such a treat... its nice to have those little bits of home in a faraway place. And you'll enjoy those new bulbs that don't flicker.
ReplyDeleteSo living in such an urban environment, is all your regular grocery and other shopping within easy walking distance?
There is a mega store near by (just under a mile), but I'm going into Seoul in a bit to look for flax seeds. I haven't found a good source for organic stuff yet, but I can't afford it right now anyway.
