Hi Korea, I'm Here!

So this weekend was pretty much a battle with my appliances and I guess the rest of my apartment. After finally getting a bus (waited 1 hour, bus 9 guy said he doesn't go where I need to-- he lied. I saw plenty of bus 9's go the same route as my bus 6-3) to go home, I started cleaning my refrigerator. I was only able to clean out the bottom half as it was soooooo dirty!! I left the freezer and outside of the fridge for Saturday. Posted pictures are before and after shots of my nasty but now clean fridge!! One of the things that my apartment came with that I'm very very happy it did is my cool vacuum cleaner! He's my new Korean best friend :p I also cleaned up and bought a billion things for my sink area including that cool bunny friend and towel hanger :D My towel hanger involved melting the wax on the back side and then nailing him in. I hope the landlord doesn't mind holes in their cabinets lol. I'll make a list of prices of everything I bought once I have internet. I keep forgetting to bring my log book to school with me. BTW, it's a very good idea to keep a logbook in Asia b/c unless you have a credit card here, you'll mostly be using cash. This is the only way to keep yourself in check with how much you're spending. It's also good as a small journal in case you want to see what you did on what day :DOther appliances/stuff I battled this weekend include microwave (just as nasty as fridge), toaster, toilet, bathroom drain, cabinets and rice cooker. The rice cooker won :( I quit cleaning it after I unscrewed it in many places, cleaned whatever I could see, and it still smelled. So I'm going to go buy a new one today!

This blog is taking forever to write.. I keep having a billion students come into my office lol. First group mostly played amongst themselves. 2nd group played scrabble by themselves and helped me figure out where the keys to the cabinets were.. but now they're attempting to get me signed up on cyworld @_@;..

Back to writing!! I also had the time to explore the market area that I live in. I live down the street that has the green arch. I went up and down the main street away from the GS Square (GS Square is right next to the subway), and all around the outdoor market. I bought craploads of stuff again :x Approximately spent $150 so far lol. I did get a free "service" with the nail polish remover I bought though. I was asking the lady where to buy the cotton wipes to use with the nail polish and after discussing with hand motions she pulled it out and said "free service." :D
