The Apartment

I finally took some pictures of the apartment.
They are here.

Now that the daytime highs are a little less that freezing I have had to break out the space heater to keep warm. Not much time is spent in the living room because it's so cold. The kitchen is even worse! I try to keep the curtain between the living room and kitchen closed to keep out some of the cold air. When Howie cooks he actually wears his coat it's so cold.

The bathroom is always the warmest room in the house. Which is nice when you have to pull down your pants or take a shower.

We very rarely have ice form on the inside of the windows but it has happened in the kitchen. I'm just glad that I broke down and have accepted the Chinese custom of wearing long underpants (sometimes up to 3 pairs) 24/7 during the winter. I haven't quite gotten used to the long underwear shirts yet. They are quite different from the ones in the States... At least I can feel my legs when I go outside now.
