New Apartment

My new apartment is huge and really nice…definitely a bit more ‘posh corps’ than Peace Corps…I’ll move into very ‘Peace Corps-ish,’ place on the second floor of an unused building in October. The temporary apartment I’m in until then is where the Obshtina usually houses its visitors. I have 8 beds and 45 rakia glasses, but no water glasses and, for the first few days, no stove or refrigerator either. Of course no internet, TV, or washer machine—I was living the high life in Kravoder. For entertainment, I bought a clock radio. It sort of picks up two stations: slow 50s and 60s American pop and one that sounds like soap operas. I tried out sleeping in different beds the first few nights and have decided to mostly live between two rooms and sleep in the kitchen. Yes, there is a bed in the kitchen. I’ll try to take some pictures of it soon…it needs to be cleaned a bit more.
