Apartment

Today ADEC scheduled a tour for those of us living in Al Ain to go see our aparatments.  The buses were supposed to arrive at 8:00, but they didn't show up until 9:00.  There were only 2 buses, and we all wouldn't fit, so they had to get another bus which didn't arrigve until 10:00.  So there was a lot of time this morning just sitting around and waiting.  We got the buses moving and arrived in Al Ain at the apartments around noon.  The apartment complex is right on the border of Al Ain and Oman.  There is a huge fence with barbed wire on top of it running along side the road.  We also passed the border station.  The apartment complex looks farily new and is huge.  Lots of buildings and about 7 stories high.

We were informed that singles would be getting a one bedroom apartment, but this commplex only has 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, so I get a 2 bedroom apartment!  The whole thing is empty!  No furniture or appliances.  That is kind of weird.  I knew that there probably wouldn't be furniture, but I figured that there would be appliances.  Oh well, I get to shop for a refrigerator!!  There are 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths.  The living room is pretty good sized and the kitchen is small, but bigger than the one in Asheboro!  I am excited to go furniture shopping and ready to move in and get settled!
