The Apartment!

The following is a layout of what my apartment looks like. When you first enter there is a Chinese style dining room set that sits six on the left side, and a sofa, two chairs, a bookshelf, tv and coffee table on



the right side. From the dining room area you can exit to the back porch, which is huge. The outskirts of the porch are surrounded by flower beds with roses and weeds. Eventually I will either weed it myself (yuck), or hire an aiyi (which means 'aunt', but really is a cleaning lady) to help me. Past the chairs in the living room is a small back balcony, about the size of Melita and Giangi's balcony. I will buy lawn furniture soon. If you walk towards the dining room area there is a small galley-style kitchen, but there are sliding doors that are similar to the dining room and living room furniture. So two of the three can be opened for a more casual atmosphere, or three can be closed for a more formal atmosphere. If yo bedroom, a bathroom with a shower, toilet, sink, and washing machine will be on your right. It is decorated in a reddish color. If you continue straight instead of turning left, you will enter the guest bedroom which has a full size bed. If you turn to the right, you will see wall-to-wall closet space on both sides down a small corridor (maybe 6 ft in length) that leads into the second bathroom, that has a sink, bathroom, and bathtub. Instead of going down the corridor to the second bathroom, by continuing forward you'll reach the sliding door to my bedroom, which has a king sized bed, closets on the far side, a beautiful bay-type window on the opposite side (same side as the small front porch), with an old style desk and small trunk type thing to store stuff in. The bedding was given to me when I first arrived, but I still need to buy new bedding that is actually aesthetically pleasing. I amu walk towards the guest on the first floor which is good because even though I don't have the skyline view, I don't have to haul up 100+ steps everyday just to get out of the house. (I will take ones of the porch and balcony in due time.)
