Vores Dejlig Lejlighed!!!

Well, we did it. We have been hunting for a month for a place of our own to live and here it is. We are renting from a great guy who is quickly becoming our friend. His name is Henrik. He's 24yrs old and will be heading to east Asia to travel for 1/2 a year. Knowing that no one will rent for 1/2 a year, he's renting his place to us until the end of June. Any time we have questions about things, he answers them, or sends us websites with information. His parents live around the corner too so if we have troubles or questions, they're available to help out:) I'll have you know that we only pay 3700kr (750$) for this one bedroom, completely furnished, everything (except el) included. Most people are shocked by this:) Let me take you on a little tour:

First, David's favourite lamp, of Danish design of course. He's always wanted one, and now we have one because it came with the apartment:)

Next, the dining room, which is in a small nook. It's where we do our paper work too. Notice the entertainment system;) The bedroom is to the right, but I have no picture. It's big enough for bed, and dresser system.

On the opposite side of the room is the living room, with a very blue pull-out couch!

To the right is the hall, which leads past the front door to the washroom. Those of you from europe will have a good idea how big this washroom is. The shower is on the back wall, there's no curtain (and we're not getting one cause there'd be no room for it). Except for the calc that builds up so quickly from the hard water, this washroom is very clean:)

Just past the bathroom is our kitchen. There's a flat stove, and just out of the picture to the right is our very large fridge (yes, bigger than the small ones at York, yet smaller than the big ones at York). See how much room Dave has to cook?!!

Finally, we were told to bring some small things that really make us feel at home. Here it is, our bell (thank you Plamen and Elena!). Yes, THIS is what we brought from home:)

I'll put some other photos up later of the area around our apartment (which will include the playground for kids, the library, and parks). Our area, Sydhavn (South Harbour) is nestled between a huge park, a nature reserve, and a very large cemetery which is much like a park. It's quite quiet around here, which we really appreciate.

Next up, I'll share a little about what it's like to try to settle in a foreign (but becoming a little less foreign every day) country...
