My Seoul Apartment

So I moved in on my second day here in Seoul after staying my first night at a hotel, and I actually moved in following my day at work. Unfortunately the previous owner did not do a very good job at cleaning the place, so I was up until 3 am throwing out the garbage, sweeping and then washing the floors, dusting, doing some dishes and then finally setting up my own stuff in the wardrobe and such.

I tried to photograph the apartment as best I can, so take a look:

It's not very big, at all, but it does have all the necessities so I really can't complain. There's a small kitchen with a gas stove, a sink and dishrack and some cupboard space above it (and behind where I was standing there was some more cupboard space as well). There's also a mini-fridge and a microwave. As someone who likes to cook, I really wish there was some counter space on which I could cut up my ingredients when I'm cooking. Up until now I've been setting up my chopping board over the sink and cutting like that, which isn't ideal but hey, what can you do?

To the right of the kitchenette you can see the door of the bathroom. Now, the bathroom is small. Inside, you can simply find the toilet, the sink and... a shower head. Yes, the bathroom is what you call a "wet room," a room in which everything gets wet. Honestly, it's not that bad, just make sure you keep everything inside the medicine cabinets and it's just a normal shower. You then need to simply dry off before stepping back into the apartment. I finally got my hot water working too so it's really no big deal.

Directly beside the shower you have a desk which is of a pretty good size. After that you have the bed, which is a double bed; it's quite comfortable actually and I've been getting some pretty good sleeps. The wardrobe is big and spacious, and there's even a couch, so hey, everything is there, right?

Behind the desk and the bed, there is actually a small balcony. It is covered, and that's where you can find the washing machine, the broom/mop, etc etc...

I mean, I'm not even paying for it; it's free! So really, other than being short on some counter space, I'm pretty satisfied.
