So I really have to begin by describing the apartment that Arun picked out. It’s really one of many dichotomies. On one hand it is ultra-mod. Clearly designed and decorated by a bachelor. I spent over an hour taking my first shower because there were so many gadgets and gizmos in the darn thing. It lights up- there’s music- there’s a foot massager- and more hoses and spigots than a car wash. We also have a fancy Jacuzzi tub; with the works.
I love the floor to ceiling windows in our living room; we can watch brilliance of the sun setting at dusk. 
And we have amenities that you can’t take for granted in Ukrainian apartments- a dishwasher, a microwave, and a washing machine with extractor.
On the other hand- it is retro 70’s. Our hallway has a lighting fixture that shines a neon pink glow over the ceiling.
The drapes in our bedroom are sheer beige with large brown polka-dots. All in all, though, I love it. It’s all brand new- and of course, anyone who knows Arun knows
that he wouldn’t have it any other way. The hardwood and marble floors are easy to keep clean. Everything’s comfortable and I can definitely start calling this ‘home.’
Yay! Your first comment! Wow- what an awesome experience. The apartment looks beautiful and I bet it costs peanuts to what you would pay here. Glad you're getting settled and can't wait to hear more. Love the adventure!
