Home Sweet Home

Well, i've caught myself a couple times saying, "Im going home now," but i'm really speaking of going to my apt in Korea.  Sometimes i catch myself and other times it just slips out.  Korea does feel like home.  Sometimes, I feel more comfortable in Korea because I know what to expect, even though many times the unexpected still happens.  But I'm sure I'll step back onto the beautiful CA soil and feel right back at home. But for now, I need to remain mentally present (and physically) until my contract is due.  So, back to home.  I realized i never shared my home with you.  So here is the little humble abode (from the outside).

this is the street/ back alley i live on.  This is very typical and safe.  In any other country i'd be a bit skeptical.  

They were doing so remodeling.  You'll see this truck contraption whenever they move someone in or only need to do some construction.  Its pretty cool and a little strange.  

My apt building.  My window faces the other side.  I get great sunrises and nice light all day, but i'm never home much to enjoy it.  

Its really crazy to see these trucks like 20 stories high.  

We have a door code and have to push some buttons to be let in.

 And another door code to get into my apt.  Which means, i don't have any keys.  Nice-uh!  Which also means, i won't loose any keys ;)

What it really looks like.

This is on the inside of my door.  You can't just turn the knob to open the door when you want to go out.  You have to push a button and then the door unlocks and then you can open the door.  It was a little weird to get used to.  Most of Korea you have to push a button to unlock the door.  And if its a business/restaurant the door is usually all glass and very clean.  Surprisingly, I haven't walked into one yet.  :)
