New Apartment

Sunday afternoon I finally moved into the apartment I’m sharing with Panpan. Although our place isn’t as nice as the apartment I was staying in for the first couple of weeks, it is definitely nice to have her for company. I’m hoping that the change of scenery will energize me. At the very least it will get me out of bed more – my mattress is so hard I don’t anticipate lounging around too much. Some of you may remember seeing photos of my sleeping arrangements at the orphanage last year… well, now I’m back to the comforts of a hard surface barely softened by a pile of comforters. I like firm mattresses, but this is a bit much even by my standards!

The rest of our apartment is pretty nice. I’d say that the interior décor is inspired by the minimalist style, but if I posted photos you’d all realize that was just a major euphemism for “small and sparsely furnished.” However, I won’t complain much, because the simplicity (and rock hard beds) is offset by the desirable location. We’re located on the edge of the French Concession, and only a short walk away from a metro stop and a small park.

(By the way, sorry for the lack of photos... Since blogger is technically blocked in China, it's a real headache to upload these posts, let alone add photos... I'll be sure to add the best of the best, though.)
