My Apartment

kitchen/entryway

Like many English language teachers in Korea I live in a studio apartment; an all-in-one living quarter with a washing machine and built in furniture.  Koreans don't really bake much so there is no oven and the fridge is very different from what I am used to but nevertheless it is designed for maximum space efficiency and most importantly: it works.  The floor is heated in the winter and I have a remote control air con to provide relief from the endless humidity and heat.  The bathroom is in a separate room but there is no distinction between the bathroom floor and the shower, this is also common.  All in all my place is bigger that a lot of the teachers that I have met so I am most happy with it.  Just another example of Korean efficiency.
