Kim and I have been here in Suzhou, China for 1 week now. The following pictures are scenes within our apartment.

This is our front room. The hanging white cabinet in the left of the picture is for holding shoes. Since the whole apartment has wood flooring (except for the tiled bathrooms), we wish to prolong the beauty and therefore wear socks or go barefoot around the apartment. The white pillar with the blue bottle in the far corner is our sterilized drinking water.

This is the balcony just off of the front room.

This is our dining room, with the little fridge/freezer in the right corner. To the left is the kitchen entryway and the laundry room door is straight ahead.



















This is our laundry room. And if I can negotiate correctly, I can wash my future rocks in the
basin in the back, which is under the purple mop. :-) :-)


Looking northeast from our laundry room.


kitchen sink and window behind opens into laundry room.

We have a propane stove and below is our dish sanitizer, not a dishwasher. :-(

Directly ahead is our black electric oven,
above is the white toaster and on the right
is the lovely microwave. :-) Now all Kim
needs is too find microwave popcorn!

This is the guest bedroom.

Guest bathroom

Office/study room. Not enough bookcases!!
At least we have some to start out. :-)

Master Bedroom window. Nice place
to lounge and soak in the sun during
winter months.

Master Bedroom BED!!! Nice feature is a light
switch to the right of the bed, so no more getting out of bed
to turn off the overhead light. :-))

View down in to gardens below our Master
Bedroom window.

Looking southwest towards old SSIS campus
from Master Bedroom window.

Master Bathroom. Those of you who own cats,
that little floral container near the toilet is the receptacle
for our toilet tissue. No more shredded rolls of paper.
Hint, Hint!!

Well that is all for now. Will keep you all updated. It is a new thing to remember camera when we go out, so bear with us all.

Love you all.
