My new apartment!

I don't think I ever took pictures of my old apartment, but it was not great.  It was like living in a small dark box or hole, and maybe I never took pictures because I didn't want to remember it.  I definitely had the worst place out of all the teachers at LCI.  My new place is at least twice as big and sooooo much nicer.  I even have a couch now!  Before, I barely had enough floor space to put down a yoga mat, but not enough space to actually do yoga.  Now, I could have yoga classes in my place!  (not really, but maybe two people could fit haha)  Here's some pics of my amazing, spacious (at least for Korea) apartment:




I also don't think I ever took a picture of the Korean showers here.  As you can see from the picture below, the shower head is connected to the sink in the bathroom and you just turn a knob on the faucet to have the water come out of the shower head.  Then there's just a drain in the middle of the bathroom floor, and everything in your bathroom gets wet.  They do have a cover for your toilet paper which is nice.  Also, Koreans use shower shoes, which are just plastic sandals that you wear anytime you go into the bathroom since the floor gets completely soaked for a while after your shower.  


I never really realized how big of a difference it makes to live in a decent place.  I am really enjoying this extra space I was missing out on during my first 6 months in Korea!
