Still life in cardboard

The unpacking is...Progressing. Apartments in Belgium tend to share certain, well, traditional aspects. The stairs are wide enough to allow the passage of a human body, but not, say, actual furniture. There is as much storage space as you bring with you. They generously provide as many as one electrical outlet per room! The refrigerator can hold roughly the same volume as a small picnic cooler, and don't think that this is humorous exaggeration, because it isn't. It's so cute though! I really like this place.

I took a short, (and, apologies, blurry and shaky) video of the place before our stuff arrived. It looked so nice before the army of half-empty cardboard boxes arrived! I finally managed to find the cord so I could get some of the pictures out of our camera, which was a little backlogged to say the least. We also took some pictures of the movers getting our stuff into the apartment :














Also, you can see in the background of the photo that the street we live on is cobbled. I would go outside and take some more pictures of our street, but it is raining buckets and small sea animals out there.

From our apartment you can hear the trains running, which seems like a comforting sound to me. It's like the ocean.
