When I first moved in to my flat, I thought it was OK. To be honest, I was not too impressed with it. It is a pretty large apartment, but instead of feeling it was spacious, it felt bare and empty. During my trip, I started to think like "oh, I can't wait to get back home.", and the home meant the apt in Georgetown. I came back from the needs assessment trip on Friday, and I really felt good to be home. Just being away for four days completely changed my outlook on my apartment.
To make things better, my roommate has arrived. Her name is Penina from Kenya. I was worried how my roommate would be like, since not getting along with people whom you live with can make your life miserable. I really like her, and we became good friends quickly. She probably never imagined that she comes all the way from Kenya to Guyana and finds the roommate to be Japanese.... She is going to show me some Kenyan cooking!
We have three bedrooms, and the extra room is currently used as an ironing room. We have an exceptionally large bathroom (someone made a joke saying we were going to have a pool party at our place etc...) The furniture is not in the best shape to say the least, but it is all right. We have no TV, radio, music or card game, so we have to kind of entertain each other, which we have been doing quite well so far.
We started to buy some household and food items together, such as slippers and spices. The bare space is beginning to filled up with different stuff. I think hopefully I will be OK here for next six months.
