In our apartment!

We finally moved into our apartment after some cleaning and getting a new mattress. It was quite an experience buying a mattress in a foreign country in a language we don't understand and then negotiating how it was to be delivered to our apartment. We figured it out and it was delivered to our building on the back of a motorbike. Sorry I didn't bring my camera for that!
We now have wireless Internet here and cable TV. We are not big TV watchers, but we do have the Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel, so that's cool.



One of two bathrooms. They look identical and are about 10 feet away from each other. The shower, as is common in Vietnam, just goes on the floor and down a floor drain.


View to the left of our balcony. We don't hang out on it much. It is a little scary and too hot out now.

View from balcony to the right.

Our bedroom, AC on wall and slider door to balcony. We have two other bedrooms. One has a bed but no mattress yet. The other room is pretty much empty and we don't use it.

Our dining/living room area. The blue wall with white molding striped wall is really something!

That mural of houses is all made of different pieces of different colored stones!

Living room area.

Kitchen. We have not cooked anything here yet. Frankly, it is cheaper to eat out.

  3. Your apartment seems pretty large, lol I kinda was expecting like a bedroom and thats it, Vietnam probably isn't as crowded as Japan.
