My Apartment!

Im Hyeun Jung, a sweetheart from school that I sometimes see at church or in my neighborhood.
I say "sweetheart," but maybe I should say "sweet-tooth", because she is looking in my bag for candy!


It is hilarious watching the kids race across the street from school to their homes when the crosswalk sign turns green. I live right next to Sinchang-dong elementary school so I often recognize a face or two in the large cluster of running children.

The pink curtains were there when I arrived. They are cute. I really appreciate the warm citrus colored walls and large windows.

My apartment building! It is the only one with bright colors: green, blue, and yellow. It makes me think of the 80s! There is a craft store/cafe all decorated in pink on the bottom level. They serve pasta, tea, and drip coffee that isn't tooth-achingly sweet, which is nice. The owner has two adorable kids and she is really kind and welcoming. My neighbors are shy, but they are nice. There are still several gardens around my area, which make me feel more at home. Sinchang-dong is a more quiet, peaceful neighborhood.

Kitchen and desk area!
