Korean Castle

Anyone who has ever lived in Asia, Japan and Korea specifically, will know what I mean when I say living quarters for teachers are usually quite cramped. Of course, this varies from city to city and company to company. Moving out of a bigger city may either get you a bigger apartment or a really old, dilapidated one. I've been pretty fortunate over the past six years (WOW...has it really been that long) in that I've always been out in a livable place. I have taken to the country in this contract, the biggest reason being because of the high salary and saving potential here. This is where I am (look for the red pentagon on the southern coast):


Now, the first year I spent here in Korea was a one-room studio type apartment...very, very cozy, but surprisingly comfortable. It was in a new building built by the school I was employed with (YES Youngdo) so things were nice n' clean. Later I found out I was being charged the commercial rate for electricity and gas because the school used the first floor as storage. :( Here it is:



That's tiny compared to western standards, but for a single guy, used to the small sized accommodation, it's Okay. Compare that to my new place here in Goseong...man, not much of a comparison.
Here's my bedroom:
Living room:
Kitchen:
and finally bathroom:
I do have two more bedrooms, but don't use them and feel no need to post pics of them. So, if you counted correctly...large bedroom...separate kitchen...full bathroom...two more bedrooms...plus a rather large balcony. I'm liking the extra space.

I found a little fishing shop (with the help of Mr. Yoon) around the corner from my school. So, I picked up some bait and plan to do a little fishing tomorrow morning if the weather holds up. I'll bring the camera along and snap a few shots of the monster fish I catch.

quote from Gone Fishin, "That's a 10....borderline 11!"
