Apartment - Teal and Pink






Hello,

Here are a few pics of our apartment. The complexe where you find our building is called Minu Aparte and we are on the 5th floor of this building. There are no elevators but the steps are good exercise. As you can see, I have put up a picture of our kitchen, the bathroom and the doorway to the bedrooms. The coordination of colors is pretty horrible but the apartment is bigger then our apartment on Daly. We are lucky to have a bathtub, it's uncommon to have one. We love the teal trime with pink wallpaper and fake wood floors. It's linolium. The good thing is that there is a balcony and a washing machine. There is no stove but there are gas burners for cooking and a microwave. The apartment has windows on both side so it will be good during the summer but during the winter it is a little drafty. We do have a view of the ocean and we can see the mountain from the roof.

The apartment is heated with hot water under the floor. It does not work too well but there is a propane heater in the apartment to keep us warm. We are not using the radiant floor heating to keep the cost down during the winter so we are always dressed in layers.

We also have a TV with VCR and the fridge is in the living room. There is plenty of furniture. We have a second bedroom for our guests. That's really nice. So we will but up more pics of our apartment when we have put up all our pics around the apartment and it becomes more like home.

As for this week-end, we are going to Jeju-si on Saturday. Jeju-si is the biggest city on the island and the commercial hub on the island. We are going to get a few things for Christmas and visit the big city(350 000). Sunday, hopefully we will go up the mountain again. There is a 10 km hike up the other side of the mountain. It all depends on the weather. It has been cold all week and snowing too. There must be a bunch of snow on the mountain now.

Talk to you soon,

Christian and Karina
