My Neighbourhood
It turns out I'm really not that good at blogging! I'm definitely not a born writer - my brother got all of that talent in our family!! So it's been far too long again, but I'm going to try and get better at this. I thought some of you might be curious to see what the area I live in looks like so here's a peek:
These are what the vast majority of apartment buildings in Korea look like. When I first got here Manda told me that every place in Korea looks the same; I thought this couldn't be possible, but it turns out it's true... no matter what city you go to most of the buildings look exactly like this. They're all sponsored by different companies - Samsung, Hyundai, LG, etc...

more on my walk to school...
This is my apartment building, it's actually called an officetel which means that all of the apartments are studios and many of them are actually used for offices.
Here's where I do a lot of grocery shopping. It's kind of like a Korean version of Wal-Mart, they sell pretty much everything.
And here's the area at night

Hi Carrie,
Thank you for providing the pics. I've often wondered what your neighbourhood looks like and now I know.
It must be quiet in your apt. at night if most of the apts. are offices.
Well, about the blogging, you don't write for a living and so you haven't honed those skills. I still look forward to your blogs and will continue to wait for them. You have different priorities than your brother,that's all.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing more. Of course with face book, some of your time is now occupied by it. I will still wait patiently for updates though. As I'm sure will others.
