Home Life

Am I allowed to post more than one thing a day? haha I just finished moving my belongings into my condo, so I thought I would share a couple of pictures. It's nothing fancy, but it's clean and I'm the first one who has lived here, and I got an AWESOME deal through a friend of a friend... I spent more on food every month (two weeks for that matter) back home than I am now paying in rent. Can't beat that. :) Anyway here it is, pardon the stuff still laying around back there:


Also, something you'll notice after visiting a couple of houses/apartments here is that everyone uses a different kind of AC than we use in the states. In fact, I asked a friend of mine about it and he told me that they used to use those crummy window units about 30 years ago, but upgraded to this type a long time ago! What is so great about these units? Well, you don't need a window or a certain size unit to fit your window for starters. The absolute BEST part though is that the fan/loud part is outside where you can't hear it, like central air. It is connected to the part inside the house with a pipe or something, and all you get inside is nice, cold, quiet air... it's fantastic. Those little blades on the bottom even osolate... ahh, the small things. :) Anyway, I wonder when the US will wake up to these! They don't even use central air here this system works so well, you just put a unit in whichever rooms you want to cool and then you don't have to cool the whole house all day.


And last but not least... the BEST feature of my apartment... I love this location. It's quiet, there's a lot of shopping around, the subway isn't too far (the subway is super clean here too), and the view out my kitchen window:


Ahhh... but I still gotta edit wedding pictures like the rest of yall... so back to work I go! :) Rion
