The New and Improved Linoleum Bungalow

Last contract I lived in a somewhat small tissue box of a place, very aptly referred to as a oneroom. Others knew it as the Linoleum Bungalow.

This contract I have moved up class..I have a nice apartment with a living room/bedroom, kitchen/dining room and small room for storage and a window about the same size as one of the walls in the Linoleum Bungalow..

Somethings just don’t change though..lino..everywhere..(except the bathroom and deck which are very nicely tiled). So..welcome to the New and Improved Linoleum Bungalow.

DSC06492 DSC06493 This is the main living area…what you can’t see is the sheer amount of space..this one room is larger than where I lived for the previous 10 months! Sharp eyes will notice that I have all the comforts of home..X360, computer, cable TV..and the shelf that is slowly filling with gundams. On to the next room..

DSC06495 The kitchen / dining room. Yes, I realise its messy..so? It’ll be tidied before Hyejeong is over next. Honest.
It’s very nicely equipped..fridge/freezer, microwave, oven, rice cooked, gas hob (with extractor fan..hooray!)..I don’t eat here much. It’s just as easy to sit on the floor in the living room. Oh..yes I do walk into those lights. Daily.

The ultimate bathroom for the multi-tasker. Which I’m not. Still, nice big mirror if thats your thing.

DSC06500 I used to joke that my bedroom back in NZ was a 16 square metre filing cabinet. This is my equivalent here. All my clothes are stored in here and the rest of the stuff I have yet to sort out. Longer term this is going to be my modelling room.

DSC06438 This is the closest thing I’ve got to a shot of the deck. Steer your eyes past the mess and check out the view..mornings are awesome! Also (avoiding the mess) see how much room I’ve got to play in… helicopter anyone??

 

So there it is..my lovely New and Improved Linoleum Bungalow. Thank you Okgwa Middle School..coming home to this everyday is a pleasure.
