This is my one commentary on the quirky day-to-day adjustments of life here. First, we were here for two weeks before I realized what this was: an instant water heater for tea, hot chocolate. (It was part of the existing kitchen accessories--though neither a small pot nor a serving bowl were. It's become a part of our morning routine.
The refrigerator door--everything comes in SMALL packages. And we basically eat everything we can carry home every day. So, while the notion of buying fresh bread everyday was a romantic one for me, having to go to the store every day for each day's food (and schlepping it home) takes some getting used to.

The bread loaf for toast--comes in 10 slices of 3x3 inches each.
Our little doll kitchen. We mostly use the stove top--for pasta (with sauce), scrambled eggs (with good bread), Indian curry (with bottled Tikka Masala sauce). Not bad...
This machine holds 5 kg loads. And we dry them on the radiators--one in each room of the house.
The WC is separate from the bathroom. It works just fine.
Here are our book shelves--on a corner and very small, but the floor works fine to hold our books too!
Here's our drying rack for socks, etc.. It's in a little closet that holds luggage.
Sheet drying on the door--jeans on the radiators...

Oh the joys of living abroad! Is the bread really 3x3? What? You must each eat a package a day, at least! And love the sheet drying on the door. Gpa Barry would feel right at home.
