Life in Korea: Korean Apartment Update

My studio apartment.  

It's been a whole year but I've finally settled in to living on Jeju Island in the upbeat northern side of the island, Jeju-si.  This past summer, I've been out and about  seeing the sights and enjoying the warm weather at the best beaches on Jeju Island.

My first year in Pohang, I absolutely loved my apartment.  It came with a flat screen tv, a laundry room and the tiles behind the sink in the kitchen was my favorite color, green.  My kitchen also came with a pantry and a two burner gas range, something I haven't seen anywhere else.  I could not be happier!   The shower that wet the entire bathroom, that took some getting use to.  And with a fifteen minute walk to work where I could get some exercise in, I could not ask for more.  

I even got a few freebies like a microwave, some shower shoes and a laundry basket left by the last tenant.

A move to a neighboring branch for the academy I was employed with, took some getting use to as I did not like the shift from my splendid apartment to a dirty matchbox.  Still, I made that work by cleaning/scrubbing my "new apartment" and later redecorating to make it my own.  More pictures, here.  And I had a pretty good first week in E-Dong.  

This past year on Jeju proved to be somewhat challenging and I was glad to have an apartment I fell in love with right away.  It had everything I needed and I'm glad to be calling Jeju Island home for a second year.
