We have successfully moved into the new apartment and it is huge! Especially compared to the old place which was tiny! We have an oven now which is nice but we do not have a microwave or a dishwasher; guess I know what I will occupy my time with. There are two large bedrooms here that are bigger then the previous place by themselves. There are one and a half bathrooms, a large kitchen with table in it, the living room is behind the kitchen and it is a nice size as well. There are laundry facilities that are on the bottom level of the building and they must be reserved before we use them. I have heard and seen several moms with young children and there is at least one in the building. This is due to that fact that our building is reserved for visiting researchers only. There is defiantly room for my plant and there will be plenty of sunlight as most of one wall in the living room and kitchen are windows. We also have a small balcony which will serve as a freezer when it gets colder because our refrigerator is a mini-fridge with a very small freezer.
We have seen a little of our surroundings on our short walk to the store, which is my new Wal-Mart (more details on that in a later post). There are several farms in the area. We have a good view of one outside of our guest bedroom, or my office until we have guests. We plan to do some exploring tomorrow after we take a bus back to the city centre for a few documents and grocery items. I will post tomorrow with pictures from our exploration of the area and expand on the "Wal-Mart".
