homely

i must have seen dozens of these types of posts before leaving for korea, so i would like to keep it short.

i could write about how the bathroom has a shower head that turns the whole room into a shower (fun!), or about the kitchen having no oven, only burners (no problem for someone who subsists on breakfast cereal), or about not having keys to the building but codes, which you punch into little number pads located beside the doors, but you have only to google ‘korean apartment’ and you’ll easily see pictures of those things.

instead, i want to share a slice of my living space. this is where i live:

ceiling light.

the view from the kitchen window.

what really matters, and is infinitely more exciting, is everything outside the apartment doors (like the beach!), which i’ll be writing about next.
