When I returned from MuiNe, I spent my very first night in my new apartment! It is a wonderfully comfortable place with 2 bedrooms, a large kitchen, washing machine, 2 bathrooms, and a veranda. My landlord, Mr. Dan, is fantastic! Right now he is staying downstairs, which makes both Jonathan and me feel safer. I am on the 3rd floor in a 4-story home. All the apartments are identical, with some slight variations in decor.
Well, safer..that's kind of funny. I rarely, if EVER, feel unsafe in Vietnam. My most anxious moments are in traffic. People talk about being robbed and the like, but I feel pretty safe here. I guess we just like that Mr. Dan is so attentive and helpful. He helped us order bottled water, and helped to show me the nearest market, and is very responsive if there is ever a problem or concern.
This is the front of the house. Number 60, street number 3.
This is the living room. The veranda overlooks the street and Singapore International School right across the street. In the mornings, older folks play badminton. In the evenings, young men play football (soccer).
The breakfast bar. It is actually the first thing you see when you walk in the door!
The superfantastic kitchen! Look at the microwave way down on the ground! Kind of a funny place to put it, considering that almost all microwaves in the US are above the stove or sitting on countertops.
The guest bathroom..and George the Giraffe from DaLat. Expect to see more of him soon!
The guest bedroom.
The hallway from the kitchen to the master bedroom. The guest bath and bedroom are on the left.
The master bedroom. I just added a couple of small bookshelves to the room, not in the picture..
The master bathroom. The bidet is so bizarre...and brand new...and just at the right level to be a foot bath!
The veranda. The orange tree was put there by Mr. Dan.
