Drama and anxiety of a new apartment

     Sunday was the day that I was going to leave the hotel.  Trea was going to take me to the apartment at 9 to sign the lease agreement.  One slight problem, BANKS.  I didn't remember until it actually happened that I only have a 200 dollar withdrawl limit overseas, this wasn't a problem until now.  I needed 600, I withdrew 200 the day before and 200 on the day I was going to the apartment.  Clearly 400 isn't 600.  Luckily my landlord is the coolest person I've ever met.  He was very relaxed about it and the lease agreement stated that I would pay 400 on 8/28 (which I did) and the remaining 200 the next day.  This was a massive sigh of relief on my part.

     On to the aparment itself, it's big.  I have to climb like 4 flights of super steep stairs (I think I'm losing weight from that).  When I go into it, there's a place to take off your shoes (because that's how Asia is) and when you go forward you hit the kitchen and the bathroom is next to that.  I don't have hot water but cold showers are nice in their own regard.  My kitchen has a sink and a propane stove.  The stove is so sketchy because it is so hot!  When I heat up a can of soup, it's ready in like 8 seconds!  Then there is a hall with a door on the left which leads to my bedroom.  I have a big queen sized bed, the room has air conditioning but I only turn it on about an hour before bed to cool the room off.  Then there is the living room, there is a large cot (this is where I drag my bedding and watch tv or play games or take a nap), my landlord asked if I wanted it out but no, it's my hangout spot.  I've got a wooden chair and a wooden couch and two large wooden tables.  One is a coffee table and the other is for I don't know what, my luggage is currently on it.  I also have a small tv tray where my alarm clock resides and I've got a small deck which is perfect for reading in the evening.

     Sadly this house is not a home yet because I haven't me'd it up yet.  It doesn't smell like me yet (if that makes any sense whatsoever).  As a result the first couple of nights I had bizzare and unaccountable nightmares that caused me to sleep poorly.  Lately I'm sleeping better, and I'm enjoying my new apartment.  I'm going to try to get internet (I'm writing this on my break at work) at my apartment as there are a lot of benefits to having my own internet.  Now I need to move on to the post about how I wanted to go to the riverside but went fishing instead.  I'll put up pictures of my apartment soon.
Till next time...
