Day 5: Moving to the ‘burbs

Modern Korean living room

I thought my Airbnb was in the “suburbs,” but I was wrong. I moved to a guesthouse (also in Incheon) that is practically in the countryside. I mean that quite literally there are fields in between clusters of high rise apartments. I went for a run in the afternoon, but there was no where to go… and it started snowing.

The guesthouse is a converted apartment. It’s quite spacious and the only other guests are a father/daughter pair from Brazil (of Korean descent). Portuguese is a weird language; it often sounds like they are speaking Russian, or French, or something I can’t quite put me finger on.

Nothing exciting to report on the travel front. Spent most of the day working on the website (you may notice that I’ve moved all the Chinese content to a separate subdomain [zh.linguistese.com]).

Good news for the guesthouse is that breakfast (cereal) is included and there is an entire cabinet full of ramen, so I can be extra cheap for a couple of days.
