We finally found the culprit!

Not our wall...compliments of Google for a visual.

For those of you who know us and have been following our blog for a while, you know that when we came back to Korea after the summer, we were plagued with sickness: colds, headaches, lethargy, trouble sleeping, over-sleeping, etc...

A couple of weeks ago, we were having a mega "spring cleaning" when Derek spied a pretty nasty surprise - MOLD!!! All of our windows trays were engrossed in green/brown mold! We immediately began searching the rest of the house and found some more in our music room. But, we tag-teamed the mold and demolished it!

We were having another mega cleaning day today in preparation for our trip to Thailand when low and behold....MOLD! OH NO! We moved a dresser away from the wall to clean the dust and...words can't fully describe, but I'll attempt...

green, brown, yellow mold not only growing on the wallpaper, but growing OFF of the wallpaper! Drops of water condensation and what looked like fur! GROSS!

 Thanks to a very thoughtful gift from a co-teacher of Anlee's, we ran for the mold remover, Anlee put on her rubber gloves and attacked the mold infestation! Derek shouted that's why we can't sleep! That's why were are always sick! But, haha mold! Take that. We have demolished you again, and this time we called our Landlord. You will not be returning because now we know how to keep you away! FREEZE TO DEATH! Yep, the cure for mold growth is ventilation of the freezing (7 degrees Fahrenheit) cold air circling through our apartment! No worries,  now we will only catch colds instead of all the other symptoms we used to have.

Now the mega session is over, the mold is gone and we are going to enjoy our triumph with some homemade chicken pot pie...stay tuned for the recipe and the verdict...success or failure!
