Yipeeee, pictures!
Marc and Arlene, your apartment is MUCH bigger than I had imagined!! Your kitchen looks very Westernized, everything looked like what we would be used to except the light switches, lol. Thank you so much for posting the pictures.

Great Pics!
What a lovely place for you to enjoy! Hope you can translate the info on the light switches and security system. Can't wait until we see you in your new home in September. Luv, Mom and Chuck

Thanks for the photos. The front door is very interesting. The washer/dryer is large. I forget- no dw? great photo of the light switch. I guess you can explain it to us? Not sure what the middle botton means. It is very nice- great job of finding the place.

Light Switches
The light switch Arlene showed was for the bathroom. All light swtiches are of the "press on press off" variety. Press it once and it is on; press it again and it is off. For the bathrooms, the top part controls the light. When the light in the bathroom is off, there is a little green light on the switch that lets you know it is off (for example if the door is closed). Usually a safe sign to enter. The bottom part is the press on press off for the fan. This time, there is a little red light that indicates that the fan is on. In the middle is a timer. When you turn on the fan, you have three options: two hours, four hours, or continuous. So, we can turn the fan on when taking a shower and know that it will automatically turn off in two hours. In the humid summer, we can just set to four hours instead. Marc
