Day 169 of Living in Korea: Car elevator!

A few weeks ago, I went a wedding. One of my co-teachers was getting married, so a couple of us hopped in the car, drove down to Apgujeong, and tried to find a place to park. Unfortunately, the area of Apgujeong that the wedding hall is in is a very confusing, maze-like place. My poor co-teacher (not the one getting married) drove around and around, before we finally found the parking garage for the wedding hall/convention center. Here, I got to experience something for the first time-a car elevator! Korea doesn't have wide open spaces like we do in the States, at least not in Seoul. To get around this, they've dug basements below a large percentage of buildings to park cars in. Usually there's a ramp to take down, but there wasn't even room to build a ramp. So they installed an elevator!

Day 168 (WOW) of living in Korea: Sports Festival

So I'm still not the best about keeping current on blogging...whoops. To be fair, things have been a little bit crazy lately. But when are they not...

Anyway, I decided that today was finally the day to write about our sports festival!

Day 147 of Living in Korea-General updates

Wow, it's been a long long LONG time since I blogged...I really need to do better about keeping this updated. I do have a good excuse though-I've been really busy!! I have a Korean class once a week, I meet one-on-one with a Korean teacher once and a week, and the rest of my time is filled out by hanging out with friends or seeing the sights of Seoul. Or going to Costco...but it's always for a good reason!
