Well, I was quite worried 2 weeks ago about moving to Anyang. Had a job, no apartment.

Yep. People were right. Took 2 days for the school to get me an apartment. Dosent look so great, but the size is good, a kitchen and 2 other rooms. THey are replacing the floors, cleaning up the whole place, and buying me what I need.

Moving Wednesday morning, and by Wednesday night will be moveddddd in.

Unreal. 2 days to find an apartment.

I envy you....I'm back to Cheongju and I miss Anyang terribly. It's a good city...I'm sure you'll enjoy it there. My new apartment is half the size of the one in Anyang and I already can't stand my neighbors who laugh upon seeing me and the stupid apartment announcer that comes on those speakers at freakin' 8:00 am I still will escape to Anyang on the weekends to visit dear friends there. Try the Rockissin bar on Friday nights on Anyang 1st Street (or "il-boon-ga") They have a pretty good live music session and plenty of cool foreigners. Also a couple of really good places in Pyeongchon, the hagwon-ga area.

Lucky you I'll cry in my ramyeon noodles now.

What's so unreal about it? Took us 30 mins.

Grotto, I wish I knew you 3 years ago. That apt. always had some one blaring thru the speakers. I didnt know I could do that.

New apt is a villa, and have not seen a speaker system. Its an old place. But if I do see a speaker I sure will disconnect it.

Once my apt gets fixed up it will really be nice. Kitchen is a nice size, and 2 other rooms. One will have the bed in it and be a closet, and the other one will be a living room. I bought 2 great loveseats for 35,000 each from a recycle center. Man do they have great stuff. Have to be carefull tho, some things are a rip off, but I saw some great couches, chairs and love seats. I could not figure out what to buy, but I wanted comfort.

Of corse where I live now I have found most of my things on the street. It is amazing what Koreans throw away. If I wanted to open a bedding store, I could. beds, yo's, blankets, and pillows galore can be found here. I had seen some great pieces, but without a car could never get stuff back here.

Anyang is a nice place. I do not go out drinking, so am not interested in the bars. I am just interested in walking.

Moving is a pain. Movers are comming at 6am Wed, and almost packed. I just have to have the movers some how pack the microwave, oven 9table top ) and a comp. monitor. I could not find really big boxes that were in good shape.
