My Apartment

I got my apartment and have included the pictures below. This is in an excellent location as I have less than a 10 minute walk to three different metro stops and there is a nice sized park nearby for jogging in the summer (there's no spring or fall here apparently). Additionally there are two small grocery stores at the bottom of the building . Best of all, my landlord speaks english and will be my neighbor. I actually had to "interview" (it really was an interview, "tell me about yourself") for the apartment as she wanted to see if I were going to be a quiet neighbor or having parties - I definitely do not want to have any parties and clean up after other. I'll also have a cleaning lady coming every other week to clean my apartment and do my ironing for me since I'm not into ironing.



The entry way to my apartment.

The living room looks pink, it's really not, it's more like a red and that couch is a pull-out bed in case anyone would like to come visit. There's enough space to move the second chair into my bedroom to turn this into my weight room once my shipment gets here.

The kitchen stuff - stove/oven, dishwasher, cabinets and such.

Kitchen table which is expandable, a TV hooked up to Russian satellite TV - about 20 channels - I don't think I'll watch too much of that.

The wardrobe and dresser in my bedroom.

Bed and dresser.

That thing about the toilet is a water heater. In Moscow, at the end of every winter, during the thaw, in May, the central hot water is turned off for the pipes to be repaired and we are left to fend for ourselves - luckily I'll be prepared with my water heater.

I can do my laundry from the can! How about that? I always called it the office, now I'll be doing some work in there. Unfortunately there is no dryer here - I just have to let my clothes hang dry on a rack.
