Livin' Large...

OK, folks....tomorrow is moving day. Goodbye Temporium! Hello overly spacious apartment for one person! (but hey, more room for visitors). A lot of you have asked about the apartment and some of you have already seen photos that I took when I signed the lease, see below.

So here's the scoop....190 sq meters / 2000 sq feet of ridiculous luxury. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, laundry room / pantry, storage room. Much more than I would ever have in NYC. But funnily enough I have chosen a "NY style" modern loft with 15 foot ceilings and floor to ceiling windows.

The building is called The Domus. I know the Turkish speakers reading this are having a chuckle at my expense now because "domus" means "pig" in Turkish. So "The Pig" is located in a central expat area called Sukhumvit, with more beautiful restaurants and shopping malls than I will ever have time to frequent. It's right at the interchange of the 2 major public transportation systems, so anywhere they train goes in Bangkok, I can take it from my apartment.

I will follow up with more photos after I move in and give the place a bit of a personal touch.

NEXT POSTING: I will tell you all about my trip last weekend to some Thai beaches. The teaser is....crystal clear water, white sand beaches, cheap massage...with some interesting stories about the characters I came across in my travels - a Thai rastfarian who ran a beach bar, an Aussie Rules Football Team, an English hen party, and a tattooed Malaysian musician who had 90% of his body covered in tattoo art (so he told me, and from what I could see, it seemed so).

Until later,
Joanna
