First Days in China...as Promised!

Okay, so these photos are from about 6 months ago!!! This is what our apartment looked like when we first got here. (ALMOST) Except for a few things, like the yellow pillows. Those we bought at IKEA. Yes, they have an IKEA here which is pretty awesome. It takes about an hour to get there though, so we have not gone too many times. Plus, we can get most of what we need right here in Clifford. Clifford Estates is sooo much bigger than we imagined!! 11000 people. Almost the same size as Winkler or Morden ;)

Our living room



























Our Bedroom. There is a big wardrode and a small desk with a mirror beside the bed. The far wall is all WINDOWS!!! Such a beautiful view. We are on the 29th floor, and we have a view of a "mountain".









The View. Right now though, all we see is fog. Fog and more fog.












The Kitchen. We now have a big red oven sitting on the counter that we bought. I don't know how I would make supper (or bake) without it! People in China don't seem to bake anything...











This is the view out of the kitchen. There is a big glass sliding door, then the dining room table and the living room. Oh, and Matt! :)










The Bathroom. Pretty nice, eh? We even have a bathtub. I was surprised at that. In many places in Asia, you just get a shower head.



















































Okay, so we also have a small laundry room off the kitchen, and a small second bedroom. BUT, you will just have to come here to see them!!!
I will end with a funny photo. Here is Matt when we went to a pizza place. They gave us gloves, yes, gloves to eat the pizza. Matt enjoyed using them :)






Goodbye and Goodnight!!!
The Howdens :)

  1. Hey, Manda - is that room big enough for me and Jenn? I got an extra week vacation this year - I had to wrestle the VP for it, but I got it - and I want to visit you! How do I best get a hold of you?
