This is pictures from our trip today trying to find some furniture. We found lot's of funny things!
Shame it was too big for Carl's room!!
Some lions or a horse in the kitchen maybe?
Not any suitable sofas here??
Maybe for the guestroom?
Namaste!
I've got a new camera and I am really happy! I am looking forward to take lot's of pictures of incredible India. Despite it's 42 C and I had experience my first "bad stomach" I still like living in New Delhi. Our land lord, new friends from school and a Swedish group are helping us to get settled here. Here at last are some pictures from our beatiful house.
This is our garden on second floor!
Our wonderful house in Vasant Vihar. Our security guard is on duty as you can see! We are living on first and second floors. Our landlord is a former Ambassador and is living with his wife on the ground and lower groung floors. They are very nice and helpful.
It has been quiet in this letterbox during this week, and that is because of the closure of most airports in Europe, bacause the ash clouds from Iceland! It was fun on BBC when they were trying to read the name of the vulcano.
Carl is sitting at our new diningtable. These chairs are the only one we have in the house so far.
It's not easy to buy furnitures here. The quality of the furniture is not as good as we expected. The shops are all over Delhi and it takes an awful lot of our time on the weekends to look at different shops. When we finally decide on a piece of furniture, it takes several weeks until they deliver. After the delivery of the goods, someone is coming to open the wrapping and assembly it. When this (above) table came I had 8 men in my house. Another crew came with the boxes from England at the same time ( of course) and with the landlord coming to help me out we were 13 . We are lucky that we have plenty of space!
Nice house!
