Our New Home Overseas (Some Before Pictures)

Our Doors...

Yes that's right, we have two doors.  The one on the right goes into our living room and the one on the left goes into the dinning room.  There is a sliding door between the living room and dinning room.  I believe these two doors are so if you have company in the living room, you can close off the sliding door and still come and go as you like in the rest of the house.

Living Room

This picture is taken through the half of the sliding door that is open.  The door to the outside is on the immediate right.  There is a TV in the corner on the left.

Dinning Room

Originally this room was more like a den.  The sofa's from the living room where in this room and those green cushions stacked in front of the window where around the room on the floor (reclined seating).  Our landlord put in a table for us in this room.

Guest Bedroom

Guest Bathroom

Sorry this one is on it's side...I could not figure out how to flip a pictures in blogger.  So, if you come visit us, you might have the opportunity to enjoy this shower squatty combo bathroom :)

Master Bedroom

This bed is actually pretty sweet.  It's bigger than a Queen but not quite as big as a King, and it is a spring mattress.  Apparently these are hard to come by here, they are mostly foam mattress (and I don't mean the Tempurpedic ones).

Master Bathroom

Sorry another picture on it's side.  Standard bathroom, we enjoy it, but unfortunately you cannot flush TP here so we're still getting used to that :)

Kitchen/Laundry

This is our Kitchen/Laundry combo.  We have had to buy quite a bit of stuff for the kitchen. As you can see there is little to no storage, so we've bought some plastic shelves along with dishes and silverware, etc. I do really enjoy that I can wash my clothes in the same room I cook in :)  No dryer though, we have a drying rack I hang the clothes on then move it outside on our balcony.  It's so dry here though, our clothes are usually dry in about thirty minutes if they're outside.  Amazing!

Well, I hope you've enjoyed to before photo tour of our new "flat."  We're still getting things settled in and set up like we want them, but things are coming along.  It's not what we're used to in the states, but we're not in the states anymore so I guess that's to be expected :)  Once we get things all settled, I'll try to take some after photos.  But who knows when we'll be all settled.  Thanks for keeping up with us!  Keep posted for more to come (like the wedding that went on last night right outside our window till 3 am).
