Finally Settling

After 4 days of driving around Sana'a seeing every kind of apartment, I have finally found a flat. It was a fluke, I was going to settle on these really expensive flat as it seemed to be my own option, I walked into the office to be informed that there was a new building right next to my hotel...so MAS and I went to check it out.

It turned out to be a hotel that had been turned into apartments, I will the first to move into it, so everything is brand new...it is a one bedroom (which is a shame as I wanted my friends to be able to stay with me mais C'est la vie). Since it was supposed to be a hotel, I have a closet and safe in each room...kind of funny. It is on the 4th floor with no lift!!!!!! I know SHOCK HORROR...but am looking at it as a way of losing weight.

After calling the landlord today and confirming that I want the flat, I instantly felt better, finally settling in and sorting my life out in Sana'a.

I have been googleing, grocery lists for people just moving in and I found some good ones (in case any of you are in the same situation):

I am moving in this Friday, and hopefully this will be the beginning of a prosperous and wondrous time for me in Sana'a. I will put pictures once I have moved in.

Good Day and Good Luck
