Well, the super managed to fix the pipe yesterday or so it seemed and everything looked ok last night, but I just noticed water is still leaking a little. Sigh. It is a hassle to deal with this kind of situation anywhere, and what makes it even more of a hassle is that I don't speak Korean. I contact Y san at P's office and she contacts the super. I just feel useless. She is so kind and helpful, but I know she is busy with other things, too.

I also noticed that the bath mat is missing from the laundry I picked up yesterday. Sobs. This was bound to happen since they don't put a tag on each item. This I may be able to handle myself with a help of google translate or translation website. But I tell you, more often than not they give funny translation.

Apparently they set up a washing machine on the balcony. I see the neighbors using the veranda (? walled and roofed space outside their kitchen) as a laundry room. They hang laundry there, too. Theirs are sort of inside the building, but this apartment has a balcony with no walls or roof. It'll freeze in winter. Y san said she will ask the super if there is a way to install it in the kitchen.

In the meantime, I spent 1 hour handwashing my laundry and some of P's.

The temp here today is 25c, but becauae of the humidity it feels hotter. I heard minminzemi this morning.

It's 1130 am and im already tired.
