Our apartment in Hefei (tc)

Our apartment in Hefei is in a building right on the walled in campus. In a later post we'll put some outside photos, but this is the inside. We have four rooms in our apartment, and Molly and Dylan have basically the same thing right next door. We use our rooms as the living space, and they come over for dinner and to sit in the livingroom. Here is our living room, a couple of different views


The next two pictures show the view looking toward our small entry way (a fifth room if you want to count it). We keep our refrigerator in the living room, something we plan on doing at home too.


Here is the kitchen. There is no hot water, we get hot water downstairs at a common area and fill the thermoses you see on the floor to use in dishwashing. The only "appliances" we have are a microwave oven just off the left side of this photo, and two hot plates. Renee is not baking anything until we come back home in January.


The last somewhat horrifying image is our bathroom after the first scrub. We have since found a bleaching spray cleaner and the tub walls look pretty good now if I do say so myself. My hands are much whiter now too. There is no shower curtain but there is a drain in the tile floor so you basically shower and let the chips (drips) fall where they may. The toilet is just to the right edge of this photo. There is a small sink in the entry way area, attached to the wall by good intentions but no real sign of support.

Thats about all there is!
