Trouble

Ok, I'll be moving into a new apartment next week. This means things need to be settled with the current place. This is causing problems for a number of reasons. Apparently, Kirk, the last tenet, ran out on a few bills and something people have gotten their feathers ruffled. What this means is that I'll be getting new things shortly. This also means that I'll have to pay for installations and nonsense starter fees. So I've got to pay a gas man, for a water purifier, new internet, and lots of other crap.

I was just told that they cut off the internet at my apartment. So things could be a bit dark for the time being. I still don't have a cell phone, as my coteacher told me this was something that I could do on my own. But after walking to 10 different places in Nampo-dong to find out that they don't speak English is disheartening. I'd ask her to help me today, but I was going to meet Danny at the Gym after school. I suppose that I'll ask her tomorrow then. Hopefully they haven't turned off the electricity at my place.

Where am I?

Geography time! Let's take a look at where I am.
First, I currently reside on the continent of Asia. I've circled the location of my city.


Here's a more close up picture of the Country. I've kept the labels on just in case you aren't familiar with the city layout of Korea. Once again, my city is circled.


Here's a nice shot of the topography of the area. Most of the country is mountains.


This is the city of Busan. 3.6 Million people live here. It's the 3rd most visited sea port in the world. The big red circle is the island on which I live. The whole island is really just two giant mountains.


A closer look at the island. In the circle is the Dongsam district where I do most of my snooping.


The top right circle is the location of Dongsam Middle School where I work. The other one is the apartment building that I live in. It's right along the course and it's gorgeous. It's in the middle of no where on an island of 400,000, but it's so majestic.


That's the uphill climb that I have to take to school everday. I'm used to it now, but just to get to the little spot in between those first two buildings, it's about a 14 story climb including lots of stairs and a graded slope. The route to school is colorful and has some great views. I'll post some pictures of the route sometime.


Thanks for the lesson. There'll be a quiz later.
