Our Temporary Home

First of all, Nick and I want to apologize for taking so long to get our first blog posts up. It took us a little while to get our internet situated - but have no fear, things will be more regular from here on out!

 We have arrived to our destination city and have begun to acclimate to our new lives here in Korea. Being that we are taking over both the jobs and apartment of another couple, we have a weird transition period before they leave. This means that we are living in a motel for a total of two weeks before we are able to move into our apartment.

Prior to arrival, we heard plenty of interesting stories of what the Koreans call, Love Motels. They get their name because traditionally Koreans live at home until they marry and move into a new home with their husband or wife - so the only reason people would have to stay at a motel would be to do the whoopy.

But no need to worry, we were very pleased to find our room to be very clean, more spacious, and have less mirrors in strange places than we expected. We are also located right behind the building that our school is in, so for now it has been easy to not get lost.

On Friday or Saturday we will move into our apartment and really look forward to unpacking and truly begin to settle in.
