Apartment search in Odessa
After about a week of constantly searching for an apartment, we have finally found a great apartment that we will be moving into tomorrow. Prices in the Odessa area are a little higher than I remember, but $400 per month for a nice apartment still is nothing like US prices.
The one that we are getting is like the 10th apartment that we have looked at, and actually the second one that we wanted. Yesterday, we found a great apartment right next to the train station(that is a good thing here as it is really cool looking) and told them that we would take it, but then this morning the landlady of the apartment called and told our agent that she would not rent to foreigners. It is a funny feeling to be discriminated against, especially by another white person- but there you have it. Generally, people dont want anyone that is foreign, especially Armenians, Aizerbaijanis, Moldovans, Turks, Jews, or anyone else that may fit into the category of “Chornie Lyudi”(Black People- which doesnt mean just african, just darker skin like Arabs).
Well, so we got back on the horse and looked at a few more today and we got a really nice one. Pictures below:
The bedroom
No, but seriously folks… here are the pictures:
Wow, I can really see what the beauty on that. Kind of a prison cell style architecture. Look out for the bichos.
Oh yeah baby. LOL actually the first picture was from a random hallway next to a place that copies keys. It does however, look like a missionary apartment I once had.
Also though I would like to draw attention to my Willie Wonka Elevator in the Bathroom. Magical.
Hey! Glad you found a place to live. Is it already furnished? We definatly love your shower- wish we had one just like it! It’s more like a shower coffin for vampires. Sorry, watching too any scary movies with Halloween coming and everything.
So what are you going to be doing for work in Odessa?
you’re too funny. Nice apartment!
Hey! No updates in awhile. What are you up to?
