Things we WON'T Miss

Yes, we will miss all the nice people, yada yada yada, but here's our top ten of things we WON'T be missing about Korea:


1. The smell: The sewers can be overpowering but nothing compares to the horror of Korean-Kimchee B.O. Hands down, the worst B.O. on earth.

2. The traffic: driving through Songtan on a market day and driving our van through the street behind our house was like running the gauntlet everyday.

3. Parking on base: 5,000 people and 30 spots

4. The pollution and yellow dust

5. Running the air conditioner for five minutes and then turning it off so we don't run up the electricity bill

6. The mosquitoes: a large colony lives outside our front door and lies in wait for us to open it

7. Our microwave: reheating one slice of pizza takes 6 minutes and don't get me started on the popcorn

8. Driving to Seoul: will it take 1 hour or three? Who knows!

9. Apartment living

10. Being 7500 miles from family

I agree with EVERY one of these!!! Except, we just run our AC. I figure 1-2 months of crazy high electric bills is worth it to be comfortable.
