I Made It!

Well, I've still got a few posts prior to this one that I need to publish, but I figured it would be best to catch up later.  I'm pretty jet-lagged so cut me some slack on the grammar and spelling ;-)

I made it safely to Korea last night.  Around 11:30pm a coworker named Matt and his wife Je Yun (sp?)  met me at my apartment and got me set up.  Matt even brought stuff for pb&j, toilet paper, and a huge bottle of water.  The apartment is not nearly as tiny as I was expecting.  It has seperate areas for the living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.  For now my bed is in the living room.  I asked Matt if I should move it into the living room but he said it's best to keep it where it is for now because of the "air con" (I don't know why but I love that they call it that!)

Matt and Esther (coworkers) explained that because my apartment is newly acquired by the school, they are still doing some work on it. When I got there I had a bed (with super cute comforter and pillows!) a tv and stand, table with four chairs, stove top, a wardrobe for clothes, and a cabinet by the door for shoes (already full hehe).  I'm still missing a refridgerator and washing machine.  My apartment has a shower...yay!!! I'm posting this from the school so I'll need to post pictures later.

Now Matt says that everyone needs a funny first day in Korea story so I guess that's why he helped with mine!  When we got to the aparment, the doors to my balcony were not installed.  He said "I'm a kindergarten teacher, not a handyman, but I think I can give it a whirl."  On the first try he put the doors on backwards.  I was unpacking some of my luggage when I heard a loud crash.  When trying to install the second door, he had accidently knocked the first one to the floor!  Luckily the door has two pieces of glass, one in the top and one in the bottom.  Only the bottom piece was broken.  Matt and his wife cleaned up the glass and even taped some plastic bags into the hole to keep the bugs out. 

After they left, I did a little more unpacking and went to sleep just before one.  Well, I'm off to get my health check...more to follow!
