Annyeong haseyo! It has officially been 72 hours since I arrived in Busan and I have to say: I am in love with this city! As I said earlier to my mother over Skype: “It’s a vacation destination that I get to enjoy for the entire year.”
In the spirit of sharing something tangible, I thought it might be interesting to provide a virtual tour of my new apartment. Here goes:
First off, I’m really lucky to live in the Haeundae District. My apartment is a 10 minute walk from South Korea’s largest beach and houses a really interesting combination of locals and expatriates from around the world. Thankfully, my fellow co-teachers live a few floors above me, which is great news should I ever need some sugar or an outlet adapter.
I inherited my new apartment from another English teacher, Jean. This lovely lady was so helpful during my application process and fielded all of my manic questions about living and teaching in Busan. Unsurprisingly, Jean left the apartment in perfect condition and stocked with lots of helpful everyday tools, utensils and mementos.
Now that my new living arrangements are (mostly) functional, my next task is to start functioning as a young millennial in Busan: stocking shelves, creating a weekly chore list and making some memories in my new digs!
