You're joking I take it...
There are a lot of buildings in my neighborhood that look exactly like mine. In fact, once I walked into the wrong one and didn't realize until my key didn't work.
When I was first here, I had to get my boss to come pick me up at the corner store and drive me one block to my apartment building cause I couldn't find it.  |

| Can someone show us an Officetel? I've actually never seen the inside of one. Or a goshiwon. |

Very good point, after 4 years in Mexico and 5 in Guatemala (even worse) before that I can honestly say that I love my Korean apartment. Only thing it doesn't have is my wife and kids, and I don't want to replace any of them. |

Do you live in Bundang?
I've heard that some other places have a "loft" where the bed can go. Gosh, I wish I had that. I'd feel like I was in college all over again!
Zzyfer lives in the same building.
You can see photos of the Sunae area if you look at the page after that.
I don't have a ton of clothing storage space. There is an access closet where the aircon fan goes, and I put stuff in there, but it's open to cold air from outside and collects lots of dirt. It's also very drafty in the winter, so I now sleep in the mini-kitchen just to stay away from the draft.
They seem to build these things quite quickly, and don't put much time into it. |

SisterSarah,
I really like the look of your place. It's better than I had imagined. Can you entertain there? |

| yeah, i've entertained. like i said, it's good because the bed is upstairs, out of the way and i can throw anything up there if there's people coming over....there's a sofa and a leather chair, but usually we just sit on the floor, korean style. |

Derrek,
Throw some color up on those walls! Looks like you're living in a "1984"- style, utilitarian nightmare. No wonder you never get laid. |

I'm not much for decorating.
Besides, when the babes are over for a visit, it's dark.  |

| I have always been satisfied with my place until now. Thanks a lot sistersarah and Derrek. My place is so small. I don't have a closet. I have no storage space. My kitchen is almost no existent. And I pay a 50k/month maintenance fee but get no maintenance from it. Oh well, this place is still way better than my last one. |
