A Tour of My Home

Yes, this is probably less interesting than my previous traveling adventure blogs, but I know some people are curious as to what the tiny Korean apartment I live in looks like. Well, for starters, it's not so tiny- I've got a separate kitchen and bedroom area, and even a laundry room- BAM! All your stereotyped preconceptions about Korean apartments have been shattered (just wait, I have more crazy things to tell you- like not all Korean clothing is made for four-foot-nothing-size-zero women, who knew?)

Anyway:

My entryway and bathroom door. My entry light is motion-censored, and my kitchen light-switch is by my bedroom door, but I haven't run into that corner yet!

My kitchen (and bedroom door frame) from my entry way. See that tiny broom there behind the fridge? Yeah, I sweep my floors bent in half-and they have to be swept a lot.




Kitchen from bedroom door. You may note the empty cupboards. Because I am too cheap to spend $3 to buy one single item, I have 2 mugs, bowls, and plates; and one of each utensil. This forces me to do the thing I hate the most EVERYDAY!!


My bathroom. Yes, I have my shower/sink/toilet all in one space- but look at the huge mirror I have!


Here's the tour of my bedroom, going counter clockwise, starting at my door:




My bedroom from my doorway. The wall decorations are maps, etc from my travels- an idea stolen from Anna in a beginning effort to cover that huge amount of white wall space.



My bedroom from my bed corner. That's my TV that I don't use, my closet, and my beautiful, beautiful air conditioning unit.



Bedroom from far corner. My laundry room door is on the right, behind which sits a washing machine that weighs the load and automatically determines the amount of water and detergent needed!


Bedroom from my closet corner. My few pictures look pathetic, but I didn't realize how much wall space I'd have. I'm working on it!



In conclusion, my only issue with my apartment is covering the blank wall space everywhere. Any ideas, posters, or pictures you want to send my way will be gladly accepted!
