New apartment & settling in
I moved into my new place a couple of weeks ago, so I figured I was overdue to upload some pics. I’m now in Arlington, which isn’t a bad place to be – lots of bars and restaurants, and I’m only two metro stops from the District. The apartment itself is a smallish 1-bedroom, but it’s a newer building, plus it’s significantly larger than the tiny studio I had in Seoul!
One thing that has been a major surprise has been the abundance of public transit options in this neighborhood. I was originally planning on buying a car after getting here, but now I’m glad I didn’t! I usually walk or take the bus to work, and I’ve been using the Metro to head into the District 2-3 times/week. When I do need a car, I’ve managed to get by with Zipcar and the occasional weekend rental from Budget. When I consider how much I need for loan payments, gas, insurance, maintenance, taxes, and parking fees, I’m actually saving quite a bit by NOT owning a car! I might still end up buying a car before I leave for my next post, but at least that’s not for another couple of years.

It looks really cosy!
Thanks June, it is pretty nice! Hope you’re doing well by the way!
