My Crib in the RoK

I realized I haven't posted any pictures of my studio apartment I call home, where all the lesson planning, guitar playing and Sims 3 occurs. Hence, I am providing this "Cribs"-style  photo montage of where I've been calling home in Korea for five months. One month was in Jochiwon in a dormitory, where I lived once again like a college king. But alas, real world, real apartment here I am. If I'm feeling particularly motivated, I may make a video tour. But we'll see how motivated I can - nope, lost it.

Things to note about my studio apartment:

1. My washer sounds like a jet engine is taking off and spews water all over the little floor in the little room it resides in. I throw dirty clothes in, pour in a random amount of detergent, blindly mash buttons until the green lights that light up outnumber the red lights that light up, and pray that clean laundry comes out. There are no dryers in most studios, so I hang my laundry all over every airy spot in my studio I can find.
2. I randomly mash buttons on my thermostat until the room reaches a desired temperature and my heating/cooling bill is livable, since I can't read what the buttons mean.
3. Mold is a common problem in apartments here. A few TaLK scholars got mold poisoning and had to go to the hospital for meds. I have rid my apartment of the mold that was there and have not seen any since. Winning.
4. No keys required to get into my building, just pass-codes to punch into keypads. The US should follow suit. 
5. My "closet" exposes my intimates for any visitors to see. How embarrassing.
6. Every morning, I awake to the sound of dozens of screaming children partaking in English classes at exactly 9:30. They sound just like my students, but more engaged, enthused and medicated. It's as if they are my natural alarm clock saying "Yep, that's what's coming for YOU today."
7. I fall asleep to the sounds of a dying cat (which has, from the sound of it, been dying for the past four months), soju-puking ajusis (older Korean men) and screaming ajumas. Regularly.
8. My apartment looks fairly clean, but under my desk is a growing pile of used/unused English worksheets and various kindergarten crafts. The guitar tabs in my life have been replaced by "Brown Bear Brown Bear" folding booklets. The motorcycle magazines have given way to coloring books. In the immortal words of Blink 182, I guess this is growing up. As an elementary teacher.
9. I have a lot of natural light, which I appreciate.
10. As is usual in Korea, there is no true shower, just a shower head attached to the sink, so yes, everything in the bathroom gets soaked after my 45 minute showers.
11. Overall, I'm very fortunate to have the place I do. It's clean, good location, good size, and utilities are very cheap (around $20 a month).
