My new home

We arrived in Gyeongsan and I was very surprised becuase we passed Daegu stadium about 20 minutes prior. Later, I learned that I live on the edge of Gyeongsan, away from the actual city but only 20 minutes away from the city of Daegu. The neighbordhood I live in is called Oksan. It is a small portion of many similar neighborhoods in the city of Gyeongsan. Anyways, we stopped at what looked like a neighbordhood with various alleyways but in Korea the roads are narrow so I guess it was a small street. The apartment was called Yerim Bil, which I think means Yerim Ville or building. Not really sure though lol it's written it Korean like 예림빌.

Anyways, my co-teacher showed me the key code, in Korea there are electronic codes that unlock the building. You have to remember a four digit key code to get in the building. I watched my co-teacher do it and it seemed simple enough so I memorized the numbers and wrote them down later. We entered the buidling which was nice and walked up to the second floor. Once there, I saw a hallway with a couple of doors and my co-teacher explained to me that this is the one. We opened the door and saw a nice room with a queensize bed which was a huge surprise. It had a nice main room with a bed, desk, bed and a place where I could hang my clothes. There was another room next to it that was the kitchen. But the most surprising thing was there were utensils, glasses, and several types of dishes. The bathroom was right beside the place to hang my clothes and it was a decent size, which I was very happy about it.

My co-teacher then explained to me this would be my new apartment and the school was sign a contract for a year for me to stay there. Next she told me that the school would help pay the rent every month. All I would have to provide would be the cost for utilities. She also explained I could use all that was provided already in the apartment which was pretty awesome.

Suddenly, an ajjuma, an older woman came into the room and started cleaning the apartment and preparing it all for me. I am really grateful to her for doing that. She then introduced herself and her daughter. The young woman introduced herself as Young-mi Hong and the other woman was her mother. She said I was very tall, lol. She told me she was the owner of the apartment and if I had any questions to call her. I am very happy with my apartment and am glad I am surrounded by such nice people.
