*Siheung is about 1/2 hr. SW of Seoul; fairly small; nice, though- really reminds me of
being in Japan
*i am told my apartment is probably the biggest of the English teachers, I was very
pleased with it; i have a bed a tv, a balcony area to dry clothes, a kitchen, bathroom,
and some kind of sitting-room; the furnishings aren't the best, but thats fine; i do
not, however, have a rice cooker, as i was promised..... this i am very sad about
