The Apartment

I figured some people might want to know about my living conditions here is Seoul, so I'll spend this update talking about my apartment. I've been blessed to have a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment provided for me through my boss. It has been fun to do things to make it more personalized. When I got here on August 16th, I had a table with a TV and VCR, a queen size mattress on the floor, a refrigerator, airconditioner, pots and pans, silverwear, dishes, and a big round table. Since then, my boss and his wife have bought/got me: a new single mattress (which sleeps great and saves room), a fan, a nightstand, a floor cabinet, a cutting knife, Tupperware, a pitcher, a new pillow, a mattress cover, and more. I been able to add some of my own additions like a lamp to set the mood and a framed collage of pictures above my computer. I've also taken down the TV and VCR, put more stuff in storage, and rearranged the furniture. Let me go ahead and explain these pictures to you: In the top picture, you can see my front door, kitchen, and main floor space as well as my waterheater/storage closet.

In this next picture, you can see my bedroom and desk area where I write my blogs and talk on my headset with those back home.

Here, you can see my bedroom & bathroom (equipped with a toliet, washer, and sink where I take my shower using a hose extention and a hand-held shower head.)

The smaller picture to the left is another shot of my kitchen, desk and floor space but it also includes my 'dining room' by the window. The smaller picture to the right is a picture of what you see at the end of my bed when the bathroom door is closed. I have a hanging rack, next to the floor cabinet and fridge.

I hope these pictures help protray more accurately my life here in Korea. Hopefully, it's not just an idea that Jarrod is living aboard, now you can begin to see it more practically.

I do love hearing from you, and I am sincerely thankful for the prayers on my behalf. God is answering prayer as he provides daily for me- renewing my strength, my thoughts, and my faith as He reminds me of His faithfulness and His presence in the life and circumstances that surround me.
