The adventures of me.: Our new aparta!

Well i have been back in Korea since last Thursday. I entered the country still a Scott, But with a fully fledged marriage licence stating i am a Bergmann. Due to my visa application i cannot change my name just yet, even though i have in fact perfected my signature.

I have my army ID card therefore i can shop on base. I can get food, i can get basically anything western and i am loving it.

On the day after we arrived back to Korea we went looking for apartments. We were shown 3.

We had 3 major issues, close to the base, good price and furnished.

As we stumbled out of the main base gate that afternoon we happened to see a sign on a shop window saying room for rent. We went into this little shop where 4 korean women were playing cards. We did our usual point at sign, me no understand korean, smile and hope they get it! she did. the lady drove us to apartment one. A big house split into 3 apartments, its was very nice, big, etc everything was new and she said she would get us a bed and couch. we said we would call her.

We walked back and went to a realtor. They took us to a new apartment building, it was okay! smaller than the first and no balcony etc. But it did have the most amazing bathroom. It ws a western apartmment but we weren't happy, the price was higher than the last one and we couldn't get it furnished. We said we would call them! Yeah right

The third apartment was horrible. It was just old, smelly and me and matt looked at each other and pulled the same face! prision cell apartment. The korean lady was speaking english "its cheap its cheap" yes it may be cheap mrs but there is no way.

We went back to korea with the idea that we would get something basic as we are only here until August but there is a level you are not going to pass to live somewhere.

We went for lunch, i had a wine and a ceaser salad matt had soda and salad at our local restaurant called The Puffin. The food is western and the waiters are so friendly.

We decided to go with the first apartment. We moved in on Sunday. Its fantastic.
