Last Spring we moved into this two plus one apartment. It is very nice, but when we moved it was very dirty. These photos were taken soon after we cleaned everything up..

	This is our living room (and Chris) It looks retro, but it is actually just laziness. They never had 80's style. I really like the hanging globe lights. Groovy!
	Here's another view of the living room including a shot of our picture window. Again, the weird hanging globes can be seen.
	Outside the window is a nice park and to the left of that is Nepomucka Street and a series of Tower apartments (Panelaks) It's a very typical scene here.
	One reason I love this place is because it's close to a nice park. Here's our view of it.
	This is again from the front window looking out towards the center of town. You can see the Tram tracks of the good old number one tram.
	In our backyard you can see some other panelaks and The Larch... The Larch.
	Here is our toilet or reading room. Thanks to an ingenious extension, it is also our phone box.
	Another view of the living room from our couch. The Czechs call these bookcases "living walls." Seems kind of scary to me.
	Here is our kitchen. It has an open hot water heater (turn on hot water and whoosh, there is a gas flame lit to heat your water) It is very nice and quite comfy.
	Every Czech place has a hall so Czechs can take their shoes off. Ours also has a washing machine and six doors (not including closets.
	Our bedroom is very white. It is actually quite nice. We have two wardrobes, a stereo and a wide but short bed.
	The stereo with the apartment plays vinyl! It also has a funky disco mode (strobing LED lights) which you can see here in full glory.

So that's our place. Despite the dated furniture and fixtures, it is one of the most elegant and comfy places I've lived since leaving home. I guess my standards are going up. The real kicker for everyone in America is that the rent is only $200/month for the whole thing. Sweet, eh?
