Bills

This might be the cheapest month ever for me in Korea. It doesn't hurt that I live in a place one-room type apartment. I don't have a TV in here as well, which definitely saves on power. It turns out that my biggest bill this month is for the wi-fi egg that I use.

                                              so about 27 bucks total this month

                                        Under 3.5 bucks in gas

                                          My Olleh wi-fi egg

                                           8.5 bucks in electricity

Usually I have to go to the bank, and insert the bills into a machine. Then the cost of each bill comes up on the screen, and I insert my little bank book, and the money is automatically deducted from my account. Another way is that my boss just pays the bills online and I give her the money for them. Wi-fi egg can be paid at the phone store in my neighborhood at least.

Hiking Photos

due to come in the next few days. I hiked at Deogyusan National Park once again yesterday. This time I managed my time wisely and was able to make it to one of the highest peaks in Korea, as the locals were huffin' and puffin' behind me. It's definitely a benefit to not live the lifestyle that most men here live. I did about 20km, considering I thought there was a different route I could take on the way down. After wondering and wondering around though, I found that the different route partially consisted of taking a cable car down, which is a big no-no, in my book.

Some of my afternoon angels

these photos were taken on different days, but the kids were doing the same song each time. The girls in this class are awesome. The boys here do good as well, but the Korean teacher let's them slack off a lot more though.

Little friend who comes to visit sometimes

 of course he only hangs around on Saturdays or Sundays, when the little ones aren't in the area. Stray fella' so no real contact made with the guy. At least does have a full tail. Most strays here are bob-tailed.
