안녕하세요 = An
nyoung ha
seh yo = "Hello"
An every day phrase around here.
We finally have some photos of South Korea and of what we are up to. We hope to be more punctual as we have kept you waiting for almost three weeks now. All is well and the settling process has actually been very easy. First things first. We want to take you on a tour of our place and then we will eventually branch out to the school, scenery, and friends.
There is so much to see everywhere around you. It can sometimes be very overwhelming. From the front deck of our cozy, 10th story apartment, overlooking a canal, the lights at night are dazzling. Characters in neon light which we don't yet understand advertise the bustling energy of the small city below.


We were placed in a very nice
apartment which is fairly centrally located and is just a 10 minute walk from
ECC, the Language Academy. It was well furnished and anything additional which we needed was bought for us as well. You can see our clothes drying in this photo. There are very few driers her because of the emphasis on space and energy conservation. Also the white cabinet by the door is for shoes. It is very traditional to take ones shoes off when entering a home or restaurant.

Here is Chelsie's kitchen complete with the standard mini fridge and a rice cooker (on the floor by the cabinets) Adjusting to the food is a challenge and topic yet to come. Our washing machine is through the glass doors, on the back porch.

Another angle of the living quarters. We do have a guest room. We would love to have visitors.

The cozy bedroom is very roomy and right close to the bathroom which is always a plus.

It is very common here not to have a shower curtain, actually we were very fortunate to have a tub. Everything is tiled and there is a drain in the tub and a drain on the floor. It is very much a "water closet".

Chelsie works her magic in her new kitchen.
MMM, Jesse loves leftovers too.

The fruit which we originally read was sparse, has proven to be bountiful.
Horray! We have enjoyed a wide variety of fruits and veggies purchased at the local fish market. (Pi cures to come!!!)

The kiwi are fantastic.

We are once again sorry to keep you waiting for news, but now were back on track. God bless!
