Okay, finally as promised, some pictures of our apartment!!! We are slowly settling in. I can't believe how much stuff you need besides the basics as furniture. Such as drapes, towels, sheets, silverware, glasses, knifes, little things as rope, tape, etc. I can't find nails to put up the elephant murals I bought. But we are getting there :)
Here are some pictures of our living room/dining room; kitchen (our fridge doesn't fit in the kitchen); master bedroom; guest bedroom; Mikey's room; balcony...
After the balcony picture, there is a picture of a little tent village I saw. The contrast between rich and poor is so huge. The economy in Hyderabad is booming, but unfortunately there is no trickle effect. I am still amazed every how day how little people speak English. I guess we are still in a very conservative area of India. Most women wear sarees. I think they look beautiful. There are so many people here that everything seems overcrowded. They are able to squeeze so many people in a bus or tuktuk, that half the people are hanging out on the side. I have seen 5 people on a motorcycle. Most women sit sidesaddle on the back of a motorcycle, and often with a baby in their lap!!!
This week, I had my first road side coconut water. Robert's office manager Shiva and my driver Venkat got one for me. I loved it!!!
This weekend we celebrated Mikey's fifth birthday!! We had a fun lunch with Manjusha and Ravi and their kids. And with Rob's colleagues Steve and Patricia. Pictures will follow later as I dropped my phone in the toilet (luckily a relative clean toilet), but the phone is not working anymore and it had most of my pictures on there :(
