So, we made it! We're in a two bedroom apartment in a relatively desirable and convenient neighborhood of Tbilisi. The apartment is growing on us the longer we are here. That is, I no longer notice the random electrical wiring sticking out of the walls, and just expect that the water will be off from sometime after midnight until six in the morning, every night.
The wiring in the shower... out of range of the spray?
Oh, speaking of electrical wiring, does anybody know why the standard placement of electrical outlets and light switches seems to be just below waist height, instead of placing the switch up where your hand naturally falls, and the outlet down on the baseboard so you don't have wires draped down the walls?
But, overall, we are in a nice place. This building was designed with central heating, and we have new radiators on the wall of each room. It is too bad that something happened to that plan and that none of them are actually connected.
Notice the floor pipe that is not attached.
We do have a security guard in the building lobby. He is quite chatty at times. Unfortunately, he speaks to us in Russian. We are foreigners, after all, and obviously stupid ones because we never understand him. And, we have two elevators. I just have to remember if it is the one on the right, or the one on the left, that regularly gets stuck and won't open when it gets to the ground floor.
