Home Sweet Home

Alas, a place to call home!

After what seemed like weeks of searching, I moved into my new room yesterday. I live with a very nice Colombian lady and her son Swami, meaning "teacher of himself". He's young and quite energetic. In the flat there is also a young couple from Greece and a young guy from Germany, whom I have yet to meet. As soon as I met the Colombian lady, I knew I wanted to live there. She was warm and inviting, quite rare from the other places I visited.

Her only rules are:
"no carne. no zapatos. no fumar."
"no meat. no shoes. no smoking."

I don't mind the last too, but that first one might be a challenge. I am a lover of meat. She is a vegetarian and the smell of meat cooking makes her sick. So I can eat lunch meat and tuna, but I can't fry up some good ol' chicken breasts. I'll find a way around this. Any suggestions here would be nice.

I took some photos of my crib:

But first, let me start with my previous pathetic-excuse-for-a-room.




Mi Casa.
