Some Pictures of Where I live

So, now that I have Internet and now that my first class is over, I have time to put up some pics of the place where I live.

Here's the first one, of the view from my bedroom window.


You can see the road in front of the building. If you go along this road, you can find small shops, restaurants and internet cafe. In front of the road, there is this dried up river and then the road where you can get the bus and this road also has the chemist and supermarket.


Now for some pics of the apartment itself. Here is my bedroom:


which is in its usual spotless state. Well, it's aout as clean as it gets. The room is quite spacious in my opinion an it has air-con, which I haven't used that much so far. Can catch a cold if air-con is to cold and weather outside is warm.

Here is the main room in the apartment, which is both a living room and dining room. I have a TV and couch etc and a table and chairs. That empty beer bottle was left by an Aussie fella last night. I didn't drink it before my first class this morning (although that might have been a good idea!!)


Here is the kitchen area:


I haven't done a lot of cooking yet. Well, then again, I was given my wok only yestarday. I don't know how good that hot-plate will be for cooking. I must find some Chinese students to teach me some simple Chinese dishes. Well, since my students are all young lads, I doubt most of them can cook!
