The new House.

We arent going to put up pictures just yet, because its not homey yet.
but I will give details since a few of you asked.

Off the main road in Kuntale (khun-ta-lay) which is our neighbourhood, is where all the shops and markets are. There is a vegetable market open everyday until 10pm, there you can go and buy fresh veggies. Everything! (Bug Cucumbers, mini cucumbers, Carrots, Green Beans (and the green beans here are about as long as your arm!), mushrooms of every kind, lettuces, cabbages, onion, garlic, morning glory, tomatoes, jalapenos, chillis, string beans, papaya, etcc.) then there is a fruit stand thats a bit smaller , but it has all fresh fruits. No cherries though, cherries are very expensive here! You have to buy those at the grocery store for nearly 5 times the price back home!

Anyways, the market is about a 5-10 mintute walk up the road, so we can go there everyday and get fresh stuff.
And there is also little shops that do laundry, and hair salons, one massage place, motorbike repair shops, (the usuals) and then little corner shops that sell food.
Anyways, you turn down soi 16 (which is the 16th road in off the main road) and we have a big gate that can be locked with a little door, and the gate is about 9 feet tall.
All around the yard there is a tall concrete barrier like thing to seperate us from our neighbours. (which is good cause the lady next door to us is crazy!)

When you walk up its all covered concrete ground, and concrete stairs. theres a little corner by the stairs where you can put a little table to sit outside and keep out of the rain.
There is a bit of a garden, but not much. There is a mini wat temple ornament a little higher than the fence in the yard, its very beautiful.
When you go inside the house there is a big open living room area. off of that near the back door is the bathroom. The bathroom is very small with a shower hose and a toilet. The toilet doesnt flush. But there is a water basin beside it, and when you take your bucket of water to rise off after you use the washroom, the water goes down the drain. So it doesnt need a flusher, actually.
Thats about all thats in there, There is no sink either, But you can just wash your hands in the basin.

Um... After coming out of the bathroom you are in that big open area again, you can go out the back door which takes you all around both sides of the house, but theres not much back there except for lizzards and stuff.

Come back in that door and if you walk straight through the big room, there is another big room at the front of the house about the same size (so there is actually two living rooms)
Off of that, there are french doors that take you to the front deck. The front deck is made of porcelin, and all around it the legde is like a bench, so you can sit on that, rather than furniture. You can see onto the road from there and all of the house inside, except for the bedrooms.

There are 2 bedrooms, one is bigger than the other, but the bigger one only has one window, whereas the smaller one has two windows.
It came with a brand new King Size bed and a wardrobe with a tall mirror.
No mattress though, so we have to buy one before we sleep there.

And thats about it so far. Theres no kitchen. but we bought a basin to wash our veggies in (thai style!) and we are going to buy a little dresser thing to keep our dishes in. To wash the dishes we have another basin and a drying rack.
The rest we will have to save up for over time. But theres nothing that we NEED really besides each other and a roof over our heads. Which.....Check...and CHECK!
:)

pictures to come soon.
