Housing hmmmm....

One of the things about moving that is so crazy is just not knowing what is on the other end as far as housing goes. Some housing offices are fabulous and really keep you in the know about what is going on. The websites have floor plans and photos and everything is laid out so it is easy to understand. That, of course, is not the case in Korea. I have been scouring the internet, talking to friends who have lived there before, and been on facebook with people who live there now trying to get information. And with all of my research this is what I have come up with:

We qualify for a 5 bedroom, but will never get one because our family just isn't quite big enough...and there aren't any available anyway...no biggie. We have never lived in anything bigger than a 4 bedroom and that's fine.

We will get a 4 bedroom sometime in June...hmmm...we get there June 2nd. So, we could be in a hotel for a while....

That said 4 bedroom is NOT going to be a duplex as we originally thought....there isn't anything above a 3 bedroom available.

So what is it going to be???  Looks like a 2 story townhouse with an almost non-existent yard, outdoor parking, and not really within walking distance of anything that measures in at 1535 square feet.
OR
An apartment with no yard, underground parking, a 6x6 storage area, and within walking distance to almost everything that measures in at 1762 square feet.

If I had to choose right now, I would say the apartment in the winner, but I haven't seen any pictures of the inside. I have seen pictures of the townhouse...it looks nice, but small.

So my conclusion...there is no conclusion...we just have to wait. :(
