I came to the capital. Tomorrow, I will hopefully get to see – and move into my new apartment. For tonight, I'm hotelled – my standby "love motel" in Ilsan was full! – so I had to use a different one around the corner… slightly higher price, no wonderful view of Jungangno. How aggravating – must be springtime or something, so everyone's using the love motels. Ha.
Word of advice: don't give your cell phone number to 200 first through fourth graders if you have any issues whatsoever with a constant stream of phone calls that consist primarily of "hi teacher!… what? OK, bye teacher!" and mysterious text messages in Korean with many emoticons. Actually, I don't really mind. It's sweet, in a way.
