So I was told that I would have to pay my bills for my apartment here in Korea. At first I didn't like the idea of it because no one likes to pay bills right? Well I received my bills this month the other day and was so surprised. My electricity bill can range anywhere from $130-$180 depending on the time of year right?
I received my gas bill and it was only 5,000 won which is a little less than $5 US! I also got my electric bill and that was 18,000 won, a little less than $17 US! I also have to pay a monthly building maintenance fee every month of 25,000 won. This is for maint.of the building and it includes my Internet. Not every building has Internet included in this fee but I lucked out!
I haven't received my water bill yet but it can't be that bad if this is the trend.
So even though I hated the idea of paying bills, as anyone would. I am so excited they are so cheap. The cost of living here in Korea seems to be a lot cheaper in many aspects than the US.

That's good and all, but don't get any ideas of staying!
Believe me when I say I miss you guys and Korea will not be my home for more than 1 year! It's a great experience but I miss my home and family!
