Home for the next 50 weeks....and counting!

Alright-obviously I'm afflicted with bathroom fixation syndrome. A pretty straightforward western style washroom. The interesting thing is that Korean's don't seem to believe in shower curtains. Most of the room ends up sprayed after a shower, however it makes bathroom cleaning pretty quick. Just dump bleach all over the place and giv'er with the shower head - everything drains back towards the tub. Just dont forget to take the toilet paper out of the room before you go ape shit with the rinse.

So how else do you fit 13 million people in a single city without stacking them on top of eachother in cookie cutter apartment buildings? They cover the city and its not as difficult as you might think to forget which one is yours. My flat is on the 7th floor, and while it took quite a bit of floor scrubbing (Jason, the previous teacher-resident, seemed to have a penchant for nail polish and stiletto high heels - accounting for the puncture wounds in the linoleum. An extreme symptom of Korean culture shock?) I've gotten to the delightful point where things feel like home.
