The Iceberg

that I moved?

Diggin’ my new digs.

Living in a tenth-floor corner apartment in a new officetel building overlooking one of the busiest streets in Anyang. Everything’s brand spanking new, which is mostly good. I say mostly good because there are a few quirks that come with that which is new. Specifically, my boiler. Do you remember the freaky snow day that we had in early March? In case you don’t, let this video remind you:

It was pretty damn cold and - as luck would have it - my boiler picked the most absolutely wonderful time to shut down. Specifically, at night. This went on for quite a while, resulting in many (nearly) sleepless nights - and cold showers. Through trial and error, I gathered that the boiler would shut off when the temperature outside was at its coldest. Perfect. Exactly when you want your boiler to stop working. I visited the building maintenance office three times and they contacted the boiler fixer guy, who said three times that he would come by my place but of course never did. One of the guys at the maintenance office said that sometimes new appliances need to work out the kinks and he may be right, because the boiler has been working for the past couple of weeks. Then again, the weather hasn’t been too cold.

But I digress. The point of this post is to say that I like my new place. Here are a couple of photos taken soon after I moved in.
