On Saturday our Co-Director, Tim, picked us up from the hotel in his smallish Kia SUV with his uber adorable 10 month old daughter. What about moving doesn't scream baby?? Besides thinking that her car seat was some type of modern torture device and being a little freaked out by the two strange white people, Elise wasn't too much trouble at all. Tim, however, didn't think to take the baby accoutrements out of the car before leaving home... He also forgot to put shoes on Elise... But who’s really counting the number of mistakes a new father makes ;) Anyways, where was I? Ah yes, long enough story short, Tim ended up using a cell phone car charger to safely secure our only possessions into the back of the car for the short journey to our apartment.
And here she is!

Now, don't be all judgmental right off the bat. She has some hidden charm that comes out after you get to know her... But to be fair... She also has some demon-like qualities we could already live without.
For example, our relatively new refrigerator randomly hums so loud I have been close to ripping my ears off just to make the sound go away. And for those of you out there who like hot water AND heat at the same time... I'm sorry, but Korea may not be for you. Since our heat is radiant through hot water running under the flooring, we have to push a button to direct the water from the tank to either the sink/shower or to the floor for heat.
And don't get me started on the washing machine! That alone is worthy of its own post, so stay tuned for that.
But enough complaining already! Nick and I are really enjoying our new place. Amy and Liam, whose positions/apartment we took over, left us with a nice set up. Besides a few things we want to get for more personal enjoyment or need, we have all the essentials already here. Pots, pans, silverware, dishes, clothes rack, extra storage bins, laundry soap, toilet paper.... And the lists goes on and on!
At the end of the day, it feels great to finally be unpacked and have a place to call home... However, we have yet to decipher that damn rice maker! We have used it a number of times already, but feel we got lucky with an edible end product.
