Our place

We live in a 1+ bedroom apartment, one floor above the street.  We're right in the middle of Hleden Market which is so busy from 6 am till 9.30 pm that taxis don't go there.  These are just a few photos from inside our place.  There is no lobby.  A locked grill at street level leads to a dark cement stairway.  After one flight we unlock a door on to our balcony and from there another lock into our living room.  We have AC in the living room and bedroom and a huge tub of water in a sort of utility room for when the power fails and the pump can't be turned on.  And grocery shopping is at the foot of the stairs!

Our living room with our gang.  The kitchen is behind.. the bedroom is to the right.  We don't own the stuff on the shelves!

A balcony just like ours but across the street

The living room as it usually looks.  The TV has 1 English channel and the speakers don't have wires.  

The little nuns come singing every morning asking people for food or donations.  There are many bunches of them

This old man and his grandchildren sit and make rhythms almost every day and people give donations

We've covered holes with torn up mosquito net!

Here's the tub for when the pump can't work

Kitchen.  Two burner hotplate and toaster.  And the sink is the onlt basin we have.  But it works!  And you can see more green torn up net way up to the left of the sink
