Introducing my new apartment...

Sarah requested some photos of my apartment.  So here it is.  I live within a stone throw away from work, which is awesome!  The rent is very expensive in local currency (feels like a $2000 apartment to them), but the real cost in USD is about $650.  It's a pretty small brand new apartment complex, almost like a hotel.  My room is just a bit larger than a hotel room.  Anything bigger is more suitable for families. This place kind of reminds me of an apartment I rented in Amsterdam two years ago.  It's on the 11th floor, very quiet facing an inner courtyard.  When I'm in the apartment, I forget that I'm living right in the middle of Beijing.

Apartment comes with the furniture and even a TV.  Not too shabby, eh?

Kitchen with a washing machine.  Much nicer than my Somerville apartment

I feel like I'm in an IKEA showroom, all brand new furniture. 
So... who wants to come and visit me?
