Nice rain this morning, some of the first we’ve had this early spring season and much better than the deep snow of a few weeks back. We’ve had pleasant temperatures lately, running in the 60s and hitting 70 yesterday. This should help cut back the utility bill. Last month I paid about 135,000 Won for everything. Figuring about 1200 Won/dollar means I paid about $110. The breakdown is 55,000 for gas, 38,000 for phone, including the superfast broadband connection, 12,500 for electricity, and 29,000 for my share of the water, garbage, etc. Very reasonable. Last October, before getting the broadband hooked up, the total cost was 54,000 Won (and I had the air con. running a lot of the time that I was home).
Wednesday’s are almost like having the day off. I have one Adult Ed. class at 8 a.m. and one Freshman class at 10, then I’m done for the day. Of course, Tues. and Thurs. sort of make up for it with 7 hours of instruction each day. But I’m not griping.
