Life in the Heung-deok

Starting from the far right...


The first marker points to my apartment building.  It's a small four story building, with four apartments per floor.  My windows face south towards a construction site and that highway.  Right in front of my building there is a small park with swingsets and a playground.  


The next marker shows one of the entrances into that large area.  That's a nature reserve with walking trails and benches.  It's really nice and quiet, and seems to be very rarely used.  


The blue trail shows the route I take to walk to the main downtown area (the other blue space).  From my apartment to school, it's exactly one mile.  I've marked the coffee shop I like to frequent (top marker), E-Mart (Korean Wal-Mart, middle marker), and my school (bottom marker).


The line that leaves the blue area to the west shows where I've been running.  Just tonight, I've figured out how to make that into a loop! yay!


So, this is it.  My little piece of rock that I call home.  It's got pretty much everything that I need.  Except bars...  But, eh. Sobriety never killed anyone, did it?
