There is a hole in our ceiling.




So after work we had ourselves some delicious bulgolgi and then returned home for a quiet night in. But a quiet relaxing night was not in store for us. We opened our door and walked in to...water. Lots of water. A veritable flood, if you will. A pipe had burst in the ceiling above our desk and the ceiling had given way. The water poured down over our laptops, cameras, airport...UNBELIEVABLY, everything has survived. When we pulled Nick's laptop off the desk and enough water poured off it to fill a pitcher halfway we thought it was done for, but it woke up just fine and has had no problems yet. We called our director and he sent someone over for us. We mopped up the water, moved all of our things away from the desk and grabbed a bucket for the water that was still dripping from the ceiling.

In the morning the building manager came and ripped a hole in our ceiling to take a look-see. He determined that it was a pipe from the apartment upstairs and that they would be here Monday morning to fix the pipe and hopefully have our ceiling repaired by Tuesday.

Not exactly the kind of adventure we were looking for.
