Welcome to Incheon

Annyeong haseyo.  First of all, I am sorry for taking so long getting this blog business started.  I waited until I bought a camera so I could post some pictures for all you visual learners out there. I didn't want to bore you with stories only.  Lets begin with my humble abode, my apartment in the Doosan Mecca complex.  

MY APARTMENT:

My apartment is one room, one bathroom, but quite spacious for a single person.  The best part about Korean residences is the heated floor system called ondol.  It's very comforting to come home from work, take off my shoes at and sit at my desk barefoot.

Actually, my wallpaper might be the best part of my apartment.  Perfect for a bachelor pad.

               My loft.  The ceiling is very low.  I'm not able to stand all the way up

View from my window.  Yes that's snow.  Yes that's a Mcdonalds at the bottom.  I've been known to stumble in there at 6am after getting smashed at my favorite bar.  Yeah, that's right, 6am.  The bars don't really have a set closing time here.
Incheon, my new hometown, has a population around 2.5 million.  It is the 3rd largest city in South Korea.  Incheon is located in the northwest part of South Korea.  Seoul is about an hour to an hour and a half on the subway, and is regarded as part of the greater Seoul Metropolitan area, even though Incheon is a separate jurisdiction from Seoul.  The city will host the 2014 Asian games,  and a global fair and festival this summer.  Well, that's about it for now.  I have many more pictures to upload soon so keep tuned.
