Bratislava – I’ve Just Moved in

So after a very stressful journey spanning more waking hours than I care to think I got to the Bus Station and was kindly picked up by Prof. Magdolen. He has been incredibly helpful and kind both before arrival and getting here as well. I will need to get a mobile while here though it is just too difficult to not do so.

Anyway it is time for the poor quality picture tour of my room.

So this is my front door off the the left is part of my closet and to the right is the toilet.

This is the front door, the door the toilet, and a little bit of the shower and sink area.

This is the toilet. The Tile is a very weird green color.

This is the sink and shower area. The shower is bigger than many European showers I've been in. But the door seals magnetically and the handle was hard for me to find (In short the first time I used it I couldn't figure out how to get out) Anyway….

Here you can see the front door again and the closet. Then in the bedroom work area off to the left is the spare bed and to the right the night stand for my bed.

This is the bed that I have chosen to sleep in mostly because the door separating the bathroom area and the bedroom doesn't swing into it. The linnes were provided although my blue blanket is um a British Airways blanket that I accidentally took. It was nice having the two beds in here because I could take the pillows. The beds are very hard but the comforters and pillows are just right so it all works out.

So I have a tv apparently with satellite and English channels but I don't get a remote for it yet. It's got a pretty nice picture but without the remote all the programming was Slovak news so I don't think I'll be watching to much of it for the time being (Until maybe after I start my Slovak language class). Since these rooms are really meant for like foreign visitors to the university they're more like hotels the furniture is much nicer and there is more of it or so I've been told by a former student and Prof Magdolen. Anyway I think that explains the random table with two chairs.

This picture was taken at the same time as the rest of them so I'm not sure why it was so dark. But anyway there is the table and chairs as well as my desk and part of the extra bed. You can see I have my olive oil and Greek Sand. I feel my little things make me feel a lot better in here even if they were very recent acquirements. Too bad I don't' have a printer or I'd plaster the place with my Santorini pictures as well.

And here we have the end of my desk the extra night stand and the other bed missing most of its bedding.

Here is the fridge water boiler and what I'll probably use as my pantry.

So here is the last picture. The very far left is the shelving for the pantry the middle is part of the closet and on the right is my red front door again. Thus we've come full circle on the tour of what will be my home for the next few months. It's probably between the sizes of Laura's room and my room freshmen year in the dorms but I don't have to share it whoo hoo.

I'm all settled in here now save the fact that I desperately need to stock up on food and find a place to do laundry though that not as desperately.

I apologize for the terrible photo quality my camera is low on batteries so I've been avoiding using the flash -- besides these aren't the pictures that really count now are they.
