Starbucks is a lovely place...well, it has free internet, soy milk and coffee

Here are some pics from a while back:
The temporary housing:


I'm in Starbucks in Bupyeong, I'm glad I have my ARC because you need the number off of it to use the free wi-fi here. I made a friend who is going to take me to a veggie dinner tonight! Her name's Erika and she's been teaching here for five weeks and was in China for 10 months before that. She's from Pennsylvania and has family out here in Korea, but doesn't speak Korean yet. We're *hopefully* going to be gym buddies and I'm going to look into taking a Korean class with her in Seoul Tu, Thur, every other Friday. Yay social life!

Note on the pictures:
The shower was just on the wall, there's a drain on the floor of the bathroom under the sink, you just shower in the bathroom. Odd thing was the towel bar was on the inside of the bathroom, so you had to be careful not to get your towel wet when showering. The toilet seat was up when I got there, they cleaned the bathroom--at least that was a plus side to the temp housing over the apartment, that and the free internet.

More photos to come!

  2. The preview wasn't as crap as this blog looks. I'll work out the kinks and get it looking pretty. Or just link to a flickr account...

  3. Thanks for sending the picks so we can get a better idea about your "digs". Great news that you met a fellow traveler who understands "veggie" food and exciting that you'll be learning the language!

    We miss you, but your blog and FB help keep us in touch!

  4. I'm glad there's a way to connect with everyone over the ocean. I don't think I would have been able to travel and feel so safe if I didn't have it.
