So I am finally settled into my appartment. It took most of the weekend to have it cleaned and get the few things I needed (dishes, bedding, etc.) But I am finally settled and it feels like home.
My apartment is located on a major street in the Seoucho-Gu area of 
Seoul. It is a newer building and in a great location.

It has a large regrigerator and even a freezer, which is much more than I expected. There is a small stovetop but no oven or microwave...which could make cooking a bit trickier.

My bathroom is pretty typical for Korea. No actual shower but a shower head that just drains into the drain between the sink and toilet. needless to say, shower shoes are requred since the entire bathroom floor is usually kind of .JPG)
wet. It is a nice bathroom though and is very modern.

My windows look at the apartment building next to me so there is not much of a view but atleast I have a wall of windows!!

And Mom, my apartment is very secure...no need to worry. The entrance to it is locked and you need a magnetic "key" .JPG)
to get in or get buzzed in by the security guard. Then the door to my apartment has a key pad so you have to enter the code to get in. Once inside it automatically locks behind you. You even have to press a button once inside if you want the door to unlock again. There is also a security camera attached to my doorbell. I can look at my monitor in my apartment at whoever is out in the hallway. Pretty cool stuff!! My favorite safty feature is the large hook in my concrete wall (all the walls are concrete...no noisy neighbor issues!!) If I need to escape out my 8th floor window, I have a large safty harness and rope to rapel myself down the the apartment building from the hook...pretty cool.

It does extra spin cycles for clothes come out not soaking wet but I still had to instal a clothesline to dry my clothes from.
This is a video of my apartment (I can't post video's directly to my blog so I have to post them on youtube.)
I think it is important to become familiar with your escape route. When I come visit we are definitely rappelling down the side of your building. Think of it as a fire drill.
