Living room side

This is where I live. With some luck and the help of a local I managed to find a very nice and spacious place just outside the old city centre. Without help it would have been quite tricky, just about anyone I talked to said they had a very difficult time getting a place on their own as most people here do not speak English. The way most people offer rooms (and other services) here is interesting as well, they just tape notes with some basic info and a telephone number to trees, phonebooths or fences, so you just have to roam the streets looking for them. After collecting lots of numbers and selecting the best sounding ones we visited a number of them and I quickly decided on this one. I have started decorating it to my own liking but have to work with some furniture that came with the apartment. On one side this is convenient but on the other it is hard to get rid of unwanted furniture. The piece of furniture that has the tv and plant on it for example was about 1/3 as large as it is now, dominating the wall with useless storage space but luckily I managed to take it apart and stuff a good bit of it into some other useless storage space in my clothing closet. Another good thing about this place is that is has balconies with sun until about 2 in the afternoon because yes, it still is summer over here...
