New Apartment


I promised some pics of the apartment, so here they are. We are in a suburb of Bangkok called Nantaburi, in an area called Mueng Thong Thani. There are maybe 25 large apartment complexes that house about 10,000 people all together. We're in C8, on the 15th floor, number 15/63. Here's the picture of the other side of our building, taken from the 15th floor. The little squares that you see are boxes to hang laundry: a very clever idea.

Here is the inside of our apartment: a view of the living room and kitchen. It's like a studio, except that there are half walls to separate the bedroom, and the divider can close to block out light. It's super nice, especially for this area. Of course, the walls are white at this point. You can see our one piece of artwork over the table...

And here's a picture of the teachers' desks at school.
This is the outside of our building. It's nice to have a fruit stand right outside our front door! We are literally 2 blocks from school. It actually takes longer to take the elevator down from the 15th floor than it does to walk to school.

The other day, we went to the mall nearby, where we were thrilled to find a sweet treat. As expensive as always, of course!

  1. Your apartment looks nice. It must be nice to be a little more settled in. How funny that it takes you longer to get down the elevator than to walk to the school, lol.

    We love you guys and praying for you. Look forward to more photos and hearing more from you!

  2. You guys seem to be settling in just fine. I know that the culture will amaze you after a time. Remember we are all looked over by the same god and god does not play favorites. ALL LOVING.
    The time with the elephants must have been magical.
    We just returned from Berlin and Scandinavia and saw enough great art to last some time. Went up to Juk Muk Sweden to see the midnight sun. Phenomenal. Food is uninspired and bland. An Indian restaurant saved our lives in Bergen. I envy you two with all that great Thai food.
    Keep you curiosity up and drink it all in.
    Love,
    Pinky
