Hello Kitty

So before I arrived to Seoul I knew I would see at least one thing that involved Hello Kitty (how could I not) to my dismay however hello kitty is my roommate! Here are some pictures of my apartment. It is pretty standard and fairly clean (with exception to the mold growing on the wall) and I am pretty comfortable here, hell I have a washing machine that trumps my ghetto alley way shared situation in Phoenix!


GOOD MORNING!

My Boudoir

I have a Sofa!

I wont be cooking much

Korean Coffee?

So I ventured out for the first time today to find some coffee and perhaps a snack. Well as I said before they must have put me in this area because I would be familiar with the businesses. So here is a picture of my first Korean Coffee.

I made it to Seoul

Well I made it to Seoul in one piece! The flight was 13 hours and i was so worn out I slept through most of it. I arrived around 5am Thursday the 30th and was taken to a hotel where I will stay for the next day until my apartment is ready. So far I I haven't seen anything but a Fedex Kinkos, a coffee bean & tea leaf and an office depot, its amazing how western this eastern city seems to be.

Here's a picture of the suite they put me up in for the next night.

I'm Moving To Seoul!

Well this will be the first of many entries throughout the year dedicated to my life in Seoul Korea. A week ago I accepeted a position in Seoul, South Korea as an English teach (Kindergarten - Elementary) which I will begin November 3rd - my birthday. In preparation of my departure I am working furiously to sell my furniture and car (wish me luck) but I think I will be able to do it!

The reason I decided to set up this blog is so that you may all check in once in a while send me emails etc. So if you'd like to see or hear anything specific let me know via email at patrickdoylemurphy@gmail.com or patrickdoylemurphy@yahoo.com.

Thats all for now!
