It is on the corner of Tomasza and Krzyża streets. You can refer to the map in the last post to see where this is.
The apartment is a "two bedroom" that was probably originally envisioned as a one-bedroom with a living room, but was modified to squeeze in that extra profit once the iron curtain was lifted and Kraków became more of a global city. My roommate Alasdair sleeps in the proper bedroom, while I sleep in the bedroom / living room. This arrangement works out rather well, since he has a girlfriend, so he needs the extra bedspace, while I'm taking classes, so I need the extra table space. I'll explain later how I met this fun Aussie ex-military, wayward-travelling 19-year-old. For now, let's look at some pictures of my place!!
Hallway: Kitchen straight ahead. Closet on the left. Bedrooms on the right.
My bedroom: Single bed. Fold-out couch (so come visit!).
Table. TV for watching Star Trek.
Kitchen: Yup. It's a kitchen.
Bathroom: Shower. Sink.
Bathroom: Bath tub!
View from my kitchen window.
Sorry, no picture of Alasdair's room, since he and his girlfriend are currently sleeping in it. They both had overnight shifts last night at the hostels where they work, so they'll probably be sleeping all day.
And here's a picture of me pregaming at my apartment with a couple of my friends, Giff (left) and Alisha (right).
Now that you can envision my living situation, when you think to yourself at night "I wonder what Richard is up to right now," you can picture me lounging on my couch watching Star Trek, cooking pierogi in my kitchen, doing shots of wódka (vodka) with my friends, or... bathing.
More to come soon!
