More firsts in Korea...

...meant our living arrangements would be different from those in Canada. Anyang is a highly populated and dense suburb (yes...SUBURB!) which means that our living spaces are often small.

The motel where we stayed before moving into our apartments was such that...it was called the Bobos Motel.

Here are some photos of the motel room.




















The Living Area...where we did not do much living in...















My view of the flat screen tv from my king size bed :)




















The thing about the shower area was this: it was made of glass. Now, this wouldn't be a new thing because there are glassed shower stalls in Canada. The thing that was different was that there was a WINDOW into the bathroom. We understood this better when we realized that it was a love motel haha Angela and I are close--BUT NOT THAT CLOSE hahaha so we promised not to watch tv while someone was in the bathroom. You can see into the bathroom because the tv is place in front of the bathroom...nice going if you are there with your spouse or something...















View from the corner: Angela thought I would be more comfortable with the larger bed. She's so nice to me.















There is a toilet seat heater on this toiler...it took some time to get used to it. In Canada, if it's warm....


On our second day in Anyang, we thought we would be adventurous and venture to the local Lotte Mart (aka Walmart for us) to buy some fruits and snacks. Our plan had holes because it was pouring...we totally forgot that it was typhoon season and it rains for days at a time. It's funny thinking about it now, but thinking back, we were horrified and scared out of our minds...we didn't know where or how to get food.

So like most people, we thought to wait it out. Only it didn't stop...FOR FIVE HOURS! We were so sluggish...Angela said she saw spots when she tried to move her arm. Long story short, if it wasn't for sure...I would be starving right now. So thanks God for her!

Our treasures from our food hunt included some instant noodles (sorry Mom, there was no stove for cooking...), the most expensive apples on the face of this planet (four for $5!!!!), a huge pack of seaweed and some necturines. They also have really good RED BEAN BUNS! The beans are WHOLE BEANS.




















Sorry that they picture is crooked...the formatting for this thing is new.


Angela and I are heading out to Itaewon now...going to track down some NORTH AMERICANS!!!!!

Hope you are all enjoying your rainy weather because we can't go anywhere without our trusty umbrellas or usans for us.


Hasta la vistas babies!

Love Heidi
