O privire pe 131 Humber Avenue

Cred ca asta e cel mai simplu lucru pe care pot sa vi-l povestesc momentan: unde stau.
In mare este vorba de o casa pe un deal cam asa de abrupt (deci pot sa spun adio planurilor mele de a imi cumpara o bicicleta :D):





Casa in sine e trasa la xerox dupa celelate de pe strada. Nu ca m-ar deranja asta in vreun fel, imi place cum arata cartierul in general. Am uitat sa va spun ca, din cate stiu, este vorba de un cartier studentesc si asa si arata - am vazut numai tineri prin jur.



Nu o sa va plictisesc cu poze din bucatarie si living (arata foarte bine, ca de altfel toata casa, nu va ingrijorati), ci trec direct la camera mea, aflata la primul etaj (dupa ce am fost in Spania vara trecuta am realizat ca nu voi putea trai niciodat ala parter):







Casa are 6 dormitoare (2 mai mari la parter si 4 mai mici la etaj). Probabil ca eu am ales camera cea mai mica, dar sunt foarte multumita, caci era singura cu parchet (si stiti cat de comoda sunt cand vine vorba de facut curat). Insa este extrem de frumoasa si mi-a placut mult ca totul este in tonuri de bej, deci practic pot sa o personalizez cum vreau (sper deosebire de celelalte dormitoare care se axeaza pe albastru sau verde). A trebuit sa ii mai aduc ceva "imbunatatiri" de genul perna, pilota, lampa (traisca IKEA!) si sunt in cautarea unui covoras deosebit. In rest, nu cred ca voi mai avea nevoie de atlceva.
Momentan, impart locuinta cu un tip din Franta (Guillaume), unul din Polonia (Chris) si chiar azi a mai sosit o tipa din Franta (Fiona). Cum francezii nu prea le au cu engleza, sunt foarte incantata de faptul ca pot sa conversez in spaniola cu Guillaume. Cred ca si el este la fel de fericit :D

Probabil ca data viitoare va voi povesti despre primul meu contact cu viata de noapte din Coventry. Dar nu promit nimic!

A peek on 131 Humber Avenue

I think that this is the most simple thing that I can tell you about right now: the place where I live.
Broadly, it's a house on a quite dip hill (so I can say "Bye-bye" to my plans of buying a bike :D).

The house itself is a "photocopy" of the other buildings on the street. Not that this would bother me at all, I like the way the neighbourhood looks like. I forgot to tell you that, as far as I know, this is a student neighbourhood and this is exactly how it seems - I've seen only youngsters around.

I won't bore you with photos of the kitchen and the living room (they look really nice, as the rest of the house, don't you worry about that), so I'll just show you my room, on the first floor (after my last time in Spain I have realised that I shall never be able to live on the ground floor).

The house has 6 bedrooms (2 bigger ones on the ground floor and 4 smaller ones upstairs). I've probably picked the smallest, but I am really happy with it and it was the only one who has a wooden floor (and you know how lazy I am when it comes to cleaning). But it's extremely beautiful and I liked a lot the fact that everything is nude-toned, so I can basically personalise it the way I want to (in comparison to the other rooms, which are blue or green-themed). I had to make some "improvements" like pillow, quilt, lamp (long live IKEA!) and I'm still searching for a special carpet. Otherwise, I don't think I shall be needing something else.
For the moment, I am sharing the house with a guy from France (Guillaume), one from Poland (Chris) and today a French girl arrived (Fiona). As the French people don't speak English that well (no offence!), I am delighted to chat in Spanish with Guillaume. I think he is very happy as well :D

Probably next time I shall tell you about my first contact with the night life here in Coventry. But that's not a promise!
