Hello, hello... I know you are all dying to see where I live and what it is like, so I am going to start with my apartment.
I have to tell you that I was prepared to come to Baku and live in a HUT! I truly thought that I would have a house with dirt floors and have to befriend bugs! The buildings aren't in the best condition on the outsides, so as we were making our way to my apartment, the hut kept flashing before my eyes. However, after making our way through the dark entrance way to the lift (elevator), I realized I wasn't going to be have to deal with dirt floors because I was going to be living on the 11th floor of the building!
My apartment is amazing (even though it doesn't have heat).
I live about 10 minutes (walking distance) from school, which is really convenient for me. Although, walking in the upcoming cold weather is not going to be fun to deal with in the mornings, or the evenings! I could catch a "bus" to school, but the buses that go by the school don't make a return route (toward my apartment). So, I walk. It is quite an interesting walk too. I see something new everyday! The guys at the meat market are warming up to me as well, always saying "Salam" and good morning in Azeri.
