The New Place, Again.

Here it is! The inside of our new apartment. We are almost completely unpacked, but still have a few more things to organize. We are also waiting to get a few more pieces of furniture from an American couple leaving Antwerp in a few weeks.


It is definitely strange having our things here but very nice! The apartment is more like a house because of the size and the steps. It is not fun lugging groceries up to the second floor, but we are getting used to it. We are still waiting for some plants to be planted along the wall of the terrace. By next summer, it will be great to be up there. What we like best about the apartment is the kitchen. It was advertised as an American kitchen because the fridge and stove are a regular size - or what we consider to be regular. I love that I can actually have 4 liters of milk, my salad spinner and drinks in there all at one time. We also have an ice maker in the door. People here don't use ice, you are lucky to get 2 cubes with a soda. All of the pictures are posted on Flickr.

  2. There's a reason for the few cubes of ice you get with a soda.
    Instead of filling up the glass completely with ice, and then pouring a little bit of lukewarm soda on it to top it off, they make sure the soda is already chilled in advance, and give you a full glass of cool soda, with a little ice, just to keep it cool.

    Way better than 3/4 of ice and only 1/4 of soda.
