Pre-Flight Confusementation

After a bit of a struggle, I finally got my E-2 Visa from the Korean Consulate in Houston. The woman running the counter was kind of callous. After speaking with my recruiter, who basically acts as a liaison between me and the school, I found out I'd be flying Friday morning, but no further details than that. It's Thursday afternoon, and I JUST got my flight information. The passenger name on the ticket??? Mr. Lee Jae Hyung. What the shit.

Furthermore, I just got pictures sent to me by said recruiter of an apartment. The apartment belongs to one of the current teachers, and mine won't look exactly like it, but it gives me an idea of the caliber of domicile I should expect. Here's what I got (click to enlarge):

Not as good as my last place, but I think it'll suit me just fine. As long as there's a bed and a shower, I'm really tough to disappoint. Actually, now that I think of it I'd kind of prefer a crappy apartment to a fancy loft. That way I can fake bohemianism!

I'll post a little something as soon as I unpack and survey my neighborhood. Expect plenty of pictures, video and long-winded anecdotes in the future!
