I moved into my apartment today, and as you may have guessed, I couldn’t be more excited. It’s still kinda bare bones (cable and internet still on the way, a couch and coffee table, two beds, one wardrobe, a kitchen table . . . that’s about it so far). I’m surprised that I’m excited by what a blank slate it is – in the past that would have just irritated me. Now I get to add color and stuff and make it a home. Nothing fancy, but it will be fun. Here are some pictures of the apartment as it stands now.
I really like this living room, that's actually a pretty sweet stereo there. I haven't figured out how to work it yet (but I've seen it done), this is one of my major deficiencies in life. I also can't turn on the TV. Jooohn? Can you come help??
The very first thing I did in this apartment: wash my backpack-stinking laundry
The bathroom/shower
One thing you may know about bathrooms in Vietnam (and much of Asia, it seems) is that the shower and the bathroom itself are all one. I was with a friend the other night who said he had gotten attached to the water-all-over-the-place bathrooms, and would be confused when he got back to Canada. Methinks I won’t have the same problem.
I just realized that the last 6 postings or so have been about this apartment process. I’ll try to change it up soon.
