Pics of the apartment (part 1)
The most requested images from friends and family have been of our abode. Don’t ask me why. Our apartment isn’t nearly as interesting as everything beyond its boundaries in this country. But I’ll post a few shots anyway for the curious.
The first photo, above, is the view from our little balcony. Our building is 5 stories (I think; I haven’t actually gone above the ground level). We are on the walk-in level and don’t have a need for the stairs or elevator. There is one level below us and several above. I’m guessing the balconies on the top couple of floors have pretty cool views. Our view is mostly obstructed by the neighboring buildings. The people who live downstairs have no real distant view at all, but they do get space for a garden and/or some trees as you can see.
This is one side of our narrow kitchen. The other side, not pictured, has our rice cooker and refrigerator/freezer.
Above is the master bedroom, featuring room for two single beds and not much else.
Our kids sleep in the above room which has enough space for two, roll-away, single futons and two small desks–one of which I’m typing from at the moment.
