High Lights from week 2

Okay so thankfully our sleep patterns are back to normal and daily naps :) We are still in the TLF but our things our here and cleared customs! They can't deliver until Tuesday morning which should work out fine. It is only going to take about 15 trips from here to our new apartment to clean out the TLF so we are hopeful we can borrow someones van. This weekend should be nice weather so we are hopeful to get out and enjoy it all with pictures of course. Here are some bullets from the week.
* Apparently anything goes as far as transportation around here. It was an exercise week, so it was pretty funny to see someone in MOP (chem mask, flak vest, etc...) gear riding down the road on an electric scooter both the stand up kind and the sit down ones :)
* Not sure the house keeping staff cares to ever Knock before entering or cares that they can hear you in the other room trying to brush your toddlers teeth....good thing we don't walk around naked much.
* We did make it to a new weekly play group, The commissary with toddler size shopping carts for Bryce, he loved that his cart had things in it we needed to buy, and Story time at the library.
* I am overly excited to have more than 5 outfits to choose from when our things get here. Lets just say it has been a challenge to pack  with my growing belly. Since we left our house the last week of Feb. So lots of thing I could wear I didn't bring here bc I already couldn't wear them.
* Very excited to have elevators in our new place...carrying the BOB up and down the stairs is kicking my tail to go for walks.
*We also got to go into Brian's work and meet some of the people he works with and their families...Bryce likes his new office...buttons to push everywhere and lots of spinning desk chairs :)
Posco Apartment we are on the 5th Floor. These are about 2 years old and there are around 10-13 of these buildings around our complex. Everything is key coded and there are TV screens so you can see who you  are letting in. There are a lot of Americans that live here and a few from work...apparently we can call apartment to apartment on them too.

There are 3 parks at our apartment complex this is the one in front of our building. We will get pictures of the other parks later and there is a little spray ground that turns on for a few hours during the HOT months.

There is a gym that is part of our complex and an outdoor workout area. This must mean only the guys sweat?

Outdoor workout area also at our apartment.

Hiking trail around the apartment complex.

A very happy toddler to have a zip line at his own park.

No shoes allowed in the house in Korea either. They do a great job with Entryway storage. There are floor to ceiling closets for shoes and jackets, a few drawers, and a counter with a mirror.

This is the hallway when you come in the entryway. You go right to the 3 bedrooms and left to the kitchen, Familyroom, and our room.

This is one of the small bedrooms, no closet, and there is the random glassed in area that all the rooms have?
This is Bryce's room the only one that has closets, but they do take up the entire wall and they are top to bottom with shelves, drawers, and hanging space.
This is Bryce's bathroom.
Familyroom, with those glassed in areas. One you can see is where you are suppose to hang laundry. You can see the haning thing behind the couch. The apartments come with some furniture and LOTS O Windows. That tall thing in the corner is the AC and the floors all have heating in them, each room with a floor heating control. The last people used the other glassed in area for a play room...which Bryce thinks we should do too...we will see how hot/cold it actually gets out there.
looking back into the kitchen, Fridge is a normal size, I have a special veggie fruit washer :) and a touch with your foot turn on for the sink
 Our bedroom door is off to the right.
Our bedroom
Entrance to our closets, vanity, and bathroom
our shower and bath tub, at least they have a glass door to keep the other part of the floor dry, unlike in Japan
Rest of bathroom...our Japanese house the floors would be wet everywhere bc they didn't use dividers...so in the middle of the night you could step in puddles on your way to the bathroom...very excited we don't have to do that here...we do have fancy toilets that heat up and do lots of other things...I wonder what Bryce will think when he pushes the button that washes his bottom off :)
Our little man still loves to snuggle his favorite toys!
