SAM found a place! Woohoo. Well, I guess technically, she's only signed the preliminary contract and she still has to sign the actual lease, but I figure it's ok to hope for the best.
It's in a clean building, she like she likes the location and we've already been brainstorming on how to outfit it - all at Ikea, natch!
It looks good to me - cozy - the perfect place to snuggle with my sweetie :) See pics at http://chinesesamovar.blogspot.com.
Only flaw is that it lacks an oil ventilator. Will have to see how to fix that problem.
In other news, I love Skype. Interesting fact is that so many people pronounce it Sky-pee here even though the site itself says it's supposed to be pronounced like 'hype' or 'type.' I suppose it's just that we're in Asia? Or do they have separate branding here? Not sure, but I am left with the conundrum of how to prounce it. I could pronounce it Skype because that's the way it's supposed to be pronounced. But will people who pronounce it Sky-pee, and, I assume, believe that is the way it should be pronounced think that I am a) being pompous or 2) become embarassed when they realize their errors? Or will they simply c) realize that they are pronouncing it incorrectly and correct themselves? Not sure. It'd be cool if they did c) and corrected themselves. It'd be sort of like a tipping point thing - maybe I could start a movement, somehow and through the random chaotic movements or all these people, somehow through those forces of chaos manage to correct the pronounciations or everyone who's saying it wrong.
Who says I have delusions of grandeur? ;)
