Since I have plans to live in South Korea next year (I know, I know... I'm crazy. OK.) I would like to see what the inside of many people's apartments/houses/whatever look like. I know it's small, but I'd like to get a rough idea!

Post pics of the outside of your building, outside front door and especially inside!

Please no pics of dead rats in the bath-tub, thanks! Laughing

At best (in most places), you'll get a HUGE living room (big enough for coffee tables, dining room tables, and more than one large counch-with a small loft for your bed upstairs in a modern building. At worst you'll end up in a teeny tiny cramped shi9thole where you roll out of bed and hit the wall.

You'd be better asking your prospective employers for pics.

My apt. is too small to take a pic of. If I were to take one, you would only see a wall, no matter which way I were to stand. Sorry.

^Shocked . . . good . . . . God! You are one patient guy to really put up with such a craphole. I almost want to call B.S. on this, but on the other hand, I will probably and unsurprisingly be unsurprised. Do you really honest to goodness gracious live like this?? This is most definitely going to scare the newbs.

well, just thought I'd try posting an image...my first time. See if it works. And to satisfy the curiosity of the OP. But I must say, I think our big place is not the norm. A friend of ours pretty much lives in a place the size of our living room. Rolling Eyes
The pics are of our living room and kitchen/dining room. There are 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. We got lucky.

That's a nice and spacious looking kitchen. Oh how I envy those with copious amounts of counter top space! Sad

You live in Incheon by chance? Layout and some of the furnishings remind me of my place. Yours looks much nicer though...
