Me 'ouse!

Good day to you all.

As you probably know, I moved from Sunny Sunchang to... Inchy Incheon? Let's just stick with Incheon. Unseo, Incheon.

I am living in an 'officetel', which is an apartment in a building also used for commercial purposes. The building in which I live is essentially a small town, with at least four restaurants, a pharmacy, a doctor's surgery, a spa and public bath, a gym, a snooker/billiards/pool hall, a screen golf zone, four floors of apartments, a masseuse, a PC room, a karaoke room, and probably some other things hidden away. If I worked in there I could potentially never leave.

Sinseong House, where dreams come true.

My apartment is on the ninth floor and I have a good view of the town, my school and the airport. You are probably wondering if I can hear the planes, and were I not an expert at blocking out noises, maybe I would. My brother's pet budgie springs to mind here, with me and the men in my family having the ability to phase out his noise, while my mother and sisters were not in possession of this power. Writing this I can hear them screaming 'BOBBYYYYYY! SHUT UP!' quite clearly. This is in my mind of course as Bobby is quite dead now. In true Bobby fashion, he died in the most dramatic pose possible, wings akimbo. What a bird.

This isn't Bobby, but I can't find a photo of him. Have a duck in a bowl instead.

Where were we? Oh yes, no noise that my ears can pick up. The most prominent noise is a sneezing man who lives somewhere in the building and has quite violent outbreaks. For those who know me well, you probably know I am also quite the sneezer at times, so I feel this man is challenging me. Unfortunately, he is far my superior as even though he is loud, I am quite certain he lives at least two apartments away.

Sorry, where were we again? Apartment! I have all the basics. This time around I have a separate shower and sink too, so Evil Toilet Tube's reign has come to an end, for me at least. Now, unless I am REALLY confused, there is no danger of getting ready for school and then taking an impromptu shower. So below you can see a couple of pictures of my room which are quite self explanatory:

The pillars add just a touch of privacy to the bedroom, as you can see.

Hardly a dancefloor, is it? It will do.

So that is my house in Unseo, Incheon. I hope you enjoyed the tour, now GET OUT!

Bucket Listing #1

Hello.

Since I made my Korean bucket list for my second year, I have only managed to do of the things on it. You are getting an update anyway. This post will be somewhat lacking in photos, so here is one to make up for it.

Who's a pretty bird?

1: Visit the BK Plastic Surgery Museum

Plastic Surgery is one of the things that Korea is very famous for throughout the world, so it seemed only fitting to visit a plastic surgery museum. It was different to what I expected. For one, it was on the second floor of a plastic surgery hospital, and I was asked twice for my name for my appointment. While I was flattered, I was only there to visit the museum (you don't need an appointment for that).

When there, you can walk around and read about how they perform different procedures, what is popular, see pictures of before and after patients, and have a feel (or a squeeze if you are feeling cheeky) of  some implants, both front side and back side. They were on a mannequin so it isn't wholly inappropriate, though you feel like it is regardless.

It was interesting, but not worth a dedicated trip really. You can find the BK Hospital straight outside of Sinsa Station Exit 2, if you're interested.

12: Wear a 'Princess Leia' head towel in a sauna.

This seems to be quite the craze among the Korean spa goers, so I had to give it a go. With a helping hand, I was fitted with my new headdress and ready to become Spa Princess.

Forgot to wear the gold bikini, damn.
