moving up (literally)

I find myself actively having to think that I am in Korea. At times, when eating at a restaurant or at my uncle's house, I feel as though I'm in Nova or any other Korean town in the states. The side dishes they serve are the same and the same tv shows play in the background. But then I'm hit in the face that, in fact, this is Korea when I see and hear only things you can experience here.

For one, have you ever heard the sound of rubber rubbing against rubber? That is the sound often heard in any indoor parking garage. Kinda sounds like sticky squeals as tires scrape against rubber flooring as they attempt to turn and park.

And everyone here lives in apartments. They're countless! See picture below.. the buildings in the back are also apt.

And have you ever wondered how people move around here? There's no way a sofa can fit in an elevator to get to the 15th floor of the complex. Well, if you're dying to know, I was fortunate enough to discover the answer.

HUGE CRANES!!!

whew... updating blogs is a lot of work. hopefully I'll get faster at this otherwise... these will probably be the last pictures you guys will see! jk jk... perhaps not... :)
