Let there be heat!

As it's starting to get colder in Daegu--moving into fall--my apartment has been getting colder. When I moved in, I never learned to use the heating system, and my landlord told me to call back when it got colder, so they could show me. Last night, my coteacher came over and talked to the landlord for me to help me work out how to use it. My thermostat is located behind a patched section of the wall, so that's a little weird. I have to pull it back to get at the thermostat and controls. When we first switched it on, the thermostat didn't seem to work for some reason. The landlord then told us that it only comes on at 11pm. I think that was just the first night though because it was still on this morning. I'm at least hoping it was just tonight because I'm going to need it when I get home from work as it gets colder. It was soooooo nice waking up to heat and not freezing cold for once! I have had no desire to get up recently, so this was helpful. Also, heating in Korea is a system called "ondol," which is under the floor heating, so I kept walking across the floor hitting warm spots. Lovely morning already, and I only have 3 classes today--all before lunch!
