We have moved out of the hotel, and into our apartment using
a “camping set” from the embassy.
We looked round at an additional four apartments, but in the
end chose to stay in the same place as Lon’s predecessor. There is a known issue with noise from
the building site “The Serenity” next door, but the other apartments had
problems too, damp, mold, being on next to a busy bridge with constant horn
tooting and pollution, having a kitchen with no work surfaces or really low
ones etc
We enter via a lift, and charming door (the lens fogged up –
it IS humid here!)
Then there is an entryway, there are 3 directions to choose –
living room, what will be library but is currently dining / laptop area and passage
Right to the passage (the door is to the kitchen)
Straight to dining table
Left to living room where Lon may or may not be shooting
zombies on an ipad
Living room
Here I stood in the arch between living / library and took
the shots

Kitchen
Off the kitchen by the sink is the laundry / servants
quarters
Then off the kitchen behind the door is a storage area

Guest room – where we are camping, as the windows are
smaller, and we have something to cover the windows with
Then the “family room” which is a big room between the
hallway, which you go through to reach the main bedrooms
The one on the left, will be our bedroom
I prefer walking into a shower rather than clambering in and
out of a bath on a daily basis

The balcony runs along the two bedrooms – and varies in
width because of the pillars.
There is a bird that “lives” here, which makes odd noises – a bit like a
toy version of a cats meow

The lake view clinic is at the end of the street, with a
lake view
The one on the right – designated the Master bedroom will be
a dressing room / storage room
The lamps throughout – rather too bling for our tastes…we’ll
see what we can do!
I hope you enjoyed the little tour.
We'll be camping like this for a few weeks yet as our container is expected to arrive at Chittagong Sea Port on 10-9-2012.
PS - we haven't got our internet connection organised yet - but are freeloading off a neighbour!
