About the Apartment

Whew. It took a lot of effort. I spent a half a month in each of two different AirBnB spots. I also spent hours and hours of time researching, traveling, discussing, and viewing apartments all over Richmond and even in the southern area of Vancouver. But on July 1st, I finally moved into my new apartment, in Richmond BC!

The Living Room

The rent is all-inclusive and a very good price for the area, and it’s only a 25-minute bus ride away from work. I have my own bedroom, a bathroom, as well as a living room with an attached kitchen area. I’ve already bought some basic appliances to put in it, like a kettle and microwave, as well as some plates, cups, cutlery, et cetera.

The Kitchen

There’s even a combined washer & dryer in the apartment! Actually, I have a funny anecdote about that. The first time I used the washer/dryer, I set the machine to do its longest drying cycle–about three hours. When it was “done”, at about 11:00 PM, I tried to turn it off and pull out my laundry. But it remained locked shut. I couldn’t open it. I wondered if I’d be able to get my clothes out before work the next morning, or if I’d broken the machine! The next morning, I turned on the machine, and it immediately unlocked, mercifully.

The Apartment Bathroom

Anyways, the apartment is pretty bare right now, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what furniture I want, as well as where to buy it. I hope to share some more photos of the place soon–and with more stuff in it, for sure!
