Apart-Hotel


Apart-Hotel...what does that mean? I'll tell you, it's extended living, not quite an apartment and not exactly a hotel. I guess thats where the name was originated. The way things work here are a bit different. I think an Apart-Hotel can make up their own rules! I really don't mind that the maids don't come very often because I am pretty good about cleaning up after myself. But, something happened the other day and now I wish the maids were here!! We ran out of toilet paper! Oh, and Chelsea and I clogged the sink trying to make cous-cous! (Note this, it is very hard to cook trying to translate French directions to English!) Don't try to do laundry on the weekend because you need special coins for the washer/dryer and the manager with the key isn't on duty to open the machine for more coins. I didn't understand this yesterday and the language barrier is tough. Today, the guy at the front desk explained it to me. Most of the time, the guys working the front desk will tell you to "come back tomorrow." They can be very entertaining!

That's all until "tomorrow!"
