Last Saturday (February 28), I moved out of my plush, enviable officetel, to a cramped, semi-ghetto one room apartment in Shindaebang. Well, the building is new, but the area is a bit questionable in the latter hours of the evening. In order to avoid getting lost, I meandered about the neighborhood to acquaint myself with the surroundings and to find the local groceries/restaurants so I would have some landmarks to refer to in the event of an emergency. While this is no Shindorim, it has all the conveniences I need within 10 minutes walking distance. But back to the room.
Refer to exhibit 1.This is basically 80% of the 'apartment'. You got your desk area, kitchenette area, and fridge/microwave nook. To the right of the fridge is the bathroom. No shower booth this time, just a box in which everything gets sprayed with water. Mold may be readying itself to attack at any moment.
Due to the abundant moisture, my clothes aren't drying well and it takes upwards of 15-20 hours for them to be wearable after laundering.
In defense of its tiny nature, it's not as if I have to walk very far to get anything done. I may, however, have to shove several objects out of the way to move one meter in any direction. Another advantage is that cleaning will probably require less time overall, but again, I'll have to remove several large things in order to efficiently sweep for dust bunnies.
In other news... wait, there is none.
