This is what I see when I enter my apartment.  The first room is the kitchen and the one through the door is my bedroom/living room.  The thing that looks like a small fridge is a water purifier.

This is the bathroom.  If you look closely by the tiny window you'll see the shower head.  Korean's don't have shower stalls, they use the whole bathroom as their shower.  Tomorrow I'll test it out.

This is the kitchen.  That door leads to my enclosed balcony.

Here is the bedroom/living room.  The bed is quite hard so I'm going to need a mattress pad soon.

This is the left part of the balcony.  As you can see it's also where my fridge is.  There isn't a spot for it in the kitchen.  To the right of the balcony door is my washing machine and drying rack.  Koreans don't use dryers.

This is the view outside of my balcony.  Not terribly exciting though the main street is on the other side of the buildings on the left.

My apartment came fully stocked with toilet paper :)  Yes it's all covered in puppies and leaves. 
And that's my apartment!  I still have to unpack my biggest suitcase but wanted to show where I'm living.  So far I like it.  The building manager is really nice and speaks English.  Though he speaks so fast that I have trouble understanding him sometimes.  He took my grocery shopping tonight though we were only there for a couple minutes.  I now have a towel (super tiny because Koreans don't use large towels) and some juice.  I saw a small grocery store nearby my apartment that I'm going to check out tomorrow.  I promise this is just the beginning with the pictures.  I'll try to post more as I explore Seoul.

Can't wait to visit ;) I'm so glad you've found a place and are getting settled in, warms the heart <3 Can't wait to see the posts about the school and the kids (and the grocery store - it's bound to be weird haha) We must all have a Skype date soon!
