My accommodations

This is the living room. All of the floors in the house and even the stairs are this same marble tile. The stairs are steep and each step is quite tall. Not at all safe for a baby! This fish in the tank are not as large as my koi at home. They are just normal goldfish. The wood figure on the wall above the computer is thumper the rabbit from Bambi. Disney and other cartoon characters show up in both high fashion and decor. The little wooden table has a partner and together they make our dining room table. Each night at 6pm, Noi has five or so students practicing their English here.



The kitchen is where we often store the food that Noi orders. When school is in session, the rice is the only thing that is usually cooked in here. There is no oven or stove, only one electric burner. The machine in the back corner under the towel is our clothes washer. There is no need for a dryer. Each week the neighbors get to see my clean underwear hanging out to dry. The contraption on the back wall is the water filter. We store the water in the fridge in glass bottles so that it is cold enough to drink. The fridge is always empty by American standards. We only buy for a few days at a time.



This is where I lay my head at night. I also hang here to use the non-internet functions of my computer. The grey box is my awesome fan. It keeps me very cool at night so that I am able to use my pretty blue blanket. The green doors lead to the balcony. I don't often go out there, but the large doors make for a great evening breeze. I am becoming quite addicted to having a dressing table. I may have to fashion something similar when I return home.
