I live in a flat below a hill
An ordinary-size flat in Gangseo District, Seoul. The air is good because of the hill, and the trip to work is calm enough to sit and read.
This is the entry retold in plain words. The sentences the author wrote are on the other side of the switch. Nobody wrote the sentences on this page by hand.
I live in a flat in Gangseo District, in Seoul.
Koreans call this size gukmin-pyeonghyeong, which means "the people's size" — it is the most common flat size in the country. Think of a home with about three rooms.
It sits right below a hillside, so the air is good. The windows stay open most days.
Getting to work and back is not hard either. That is also why that time became reading time — if I had to stand the whole way, I could not open a book.
