As requested, here are some photos of the new digs. Are you ready????
First, the "master suite." Think: college double dorm room. Note the Lucy/Ricky bed arrangement.
The view from where I'm sitting looks about like this:
Here is the kids room; think college single room...
and the view from where they are...
hey, behind them... its the DINING ROOM! (and further back you can see the "master suite" again)
The dining room must be close to the KITCHEN!
(Note, I know Mia is tall, but this is not one of those funhouse pictures where Mia is supposed to look like a giant. the fridge is shown to scale)
And finally, the crazy bathroom sink. This is a new one. The first time I turned it on, all of a sudden I am standing in a pool of water. Uh-Oh, I say. That can't be good. I look down, fearing the worst, only to discover that is a "feature" and not a "bug."
Yep. The sink drains to the floor. The entire bathroom is plastic and slopes to the drain there in the middle of the room. Its fun to brush teeth and shave. We need to get one of those wooden slatted door mats to stand on while doing those things.
And, thats all for now. I am going to bed. Supposedly I have my first day of work tomorrow, but I don't know how to make a phone call from our room (or if its possible) and I haven't gotten an email reply. Maybe tuesday...
On the plus side, if the bathtub overflows, it won't be a problem!! I'm so excited for you all! When do Mia and Natty start school? And where?
ReplyDeletethats looking at the sliver lining :). I hope to find out about schools and things today.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear "all y'all" are safe! Enjoyed the "airplane" story .. it brought back vivid memories ... LOL ...
ReplyDeleteAs Art Campbell explained to me, it is the tradition in Japan to soap yourself up and rinse outside of the tub, then soak in the tub only after you are clean. I guess there have been a few cross-cultural incidents when visitors from Japan have stayed with US-based hosts who didn't anticipate this behavior with our whimpy US bathrooms...
