The first few days at the hotel were pretty hard. We were trying to get used to the heat, eating most of our meals at the hotel and trying to make it as comfortable as possible for the kids in our room. The director of the school and his wife really helped us get situated, had us over for dinner and had their teenage daughters babysit our girls so that we could start househunting--the first major task!
Here we are looking at a few houses. Homes are very different from other place swe have been. We only looked at houses and wanted a yard, meaning grass. For some reason none of the homes have grass here, thay have tiles all around the homes. There are not really yards in the back of the house either, that area is considered to be servant area...
After 1 day of looking at homes with the girls, I went by myself the second day. The last house we went to look at we could not view because as the guard said, the current renters move out tomorrow. I liked the feel of the street and the gate (see picture of Pa, the real estate agent above) so we arranged to meet the next morning at 8:30. We went back the next day, but the renters (a french women who worked for the consulate) was there. After some explaining by J she let us have a look around the place, even though another agency was supposed to come over and put the place on the market that afternoon. After a quick tour J and I spelled out YES to each other and before we knew it we were signing the rental contract at the landlord's home!
