Chuncheon – Welcome
We want to briefly introduce you to our home for the next six months. As you know, we are Interim MCC Reps for Northeast Asia. Our home is in Chuncheon which is about an hour’s train ride from Seoul.

We have a lovely 3-bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor of a 14-storey building. It is located amongst several similarly tall buildings on a hillside. Because of the tall buildings we only get direct sun light in our living room about 1 hour a day. The heating is in the floor and is controlled by “others.” Most of the time it is warm enough. But once in a while, we need our “fireplace!”

We walk the ½ mile to the MCC office every day. We walk under the railroad and through a market which is held every day that ends in “2” or “7”. There are several different routes/streets that we can take. Sometimes we go past Lotte (our main grocery store) and past a construction area. Sometimes we take the route where we head towards the “rubber ducky!”

Our office is on the third floor of a VW dealer. As the signs indicate, we (MCC) share space with KAC (Korea Anabaptist Center) and Jesus Heart Church. On our way home from the office our final stretch goes up a significant hill which climbs about 130 feet in about 1 city block. We will eventually get used to the climb, but for now we are still winded by the time we get home!
