| I'm getting an apartment in a poor neighborhood, most likely a one bedroom apartment. By one room does it mean the room is seperate from the living room? or is my living room my bedroom? What is typical in this situation? |

| I'm quite sure that they'll be the same room. Sorry! |

| It's got nothing to do with the neighbourhood. Pretty much every English teacher here (I'm assuming you are/will be one) who lives alone has a studio apartment. Some of them are shoe boxes and some of them are quite a decent size. |

Could be worse. When I first came, it was common for teachers where I lived to be in cheap hotel rooms. Not the love hotels with hidden parking, but roach infested yeo-gwans with just a yo (mat) on the floor, phone and bathroom. We had to beg for hot water. Owner couldn't understand why we wanted it in the Summer.
The hookers with their johns got the 2nd-4th floors with A/C. After a month or so, the owner produced fans for us.
That was 1994 in Kwangju. We didn't know any different.
After a year, changed schools where I got a shared apartment. |
