Apartment Tour

I didn't really do anything noteworthy this week, so since I don't have anything to report, I thought I should finally put up pictures of my apartment.

Of all of the beautiful buildings in Prague, this is the one that I live in. There is a rug store on the bottom level and when it closes for the night we have to use a huge skeleton key to get in the gate. My biggest accomplishment since getting here has been figuring out how to open the gate in less than five minutes.

This is our foyer. We thought it was really cool at first, until we realized that the cleaning people in the building can access this area to get into their cleaning closet. We're plenty secure, but it's a little weird to hear people rummaging around out there. 

This is our state of the art kitchen and our pantry. I had dreams of really improving my culinary skills while I was here, but those went out the window pretty fast. Since I took these pictures we got another mini-fridge and another hotplate, so we're really living in the lap of luxury these days. 

This is our living/dining area. 

This is my and Sammi's bedroom! I don't know how well you can tell from this picture, but the beds are TINY! And they are hollow and can be opened up to use for storage. 

The faux fireplace in our room.

Our storage area. We don't even have anywhere to hang things up!

My bed. We've lived here for over two weeks now and just two days ago we figured out that we can open up the doors to a balcony. 

The one bathroom for six girls. Please note the radiator on the right and the washing machine on the left.

The view from Sarah and Lisa's balcony. The balcony attached to their room is much bigger than ours and we can't wait until it gets warm so we can sit on the balcony and drink wine. 

And the view looking the other way from the balcony. The balcony is definitely the crowning glory of our apartment.

Tomorrow (Saturday), my roommate Sammi and I are taking a train to Dresden, Germany for an overnight trip. Hopefully when I get back I'll have something more interesting to report!
