I must admit, I feel rather silly for not discovering my roof sooner.
Today I got up early (which is anytime before 9am) and took my journal and sketchpad up to the roof. It was lovely. It’s quiet (for Korea) and the air is much better up there. There were a few other people around. One woman was doing laps around the perimeter. Two employees were chatting and the security guard also made a lap (he said “Good morning” to me. Excellent accent, which almost made me fall over).
The heat vents for the restaurants in the building come out at the roof. So the combination of fresh air and good food cooking is an excellent way to start my day.

There is also a putting green on the roof. Along with some work out equipment and benches.
I think I’ll start having picnics on the roof (once again, as soon as I get paid).
Also, for the holiday, the teachers got gift sets. I really like it. Granted, I think I have about a two year supply of toothpaste, but at least this is stuff I can use. Also, shampoo and conditioner is expensive here, so if they’re going to hand it out for free, well, that’s okay by me.
My inventory is: six tubes of toothpaste, two shampoos, two conditioners, two toothbrushes, one box of hair reconditioner, and five bars of soap. Not bad, not bad.

You’ve tantalized me with a reference to the garden on the roof, but haven’t described it further. Are there actually plants there? (Beyond the putting green that is.)

Almost everything follows a daisy-like theme. I’ll try and get some close up pictures of the flower and post them later this week.
