Welcome to my new world!

So people have mentioned that they'd like to see pictures of Jyväskylä, and I've finally 
gotten around to posting them!  First of all, here are some of my apartment

 We have a great balcony, which thankfully just faces the construction site, so that when we dance like idiots on it nobody can see.

The balcony goes right into the kitchen.  They're really into double doors here, so there's an inside and an outside door for everything. 

The largest kitchen in the world, compared to last year anyways.  There's actually room for a table (complete with a package of toilet paper, because my photography is gritty and realistic)!

This is the cabinet over the sink; it's a drying rack! I'm adding this to the growing list of ideas I'm taking back to America.

Our entrance hallyway; the front door is out of shot to the left.  The first door on the left is Erin's room, and then the 2 doors straight ahead are the bathrooms.  There's also 2 more bedrooms somewhere in there.

Bathroom #1: shower and washing machine included!

Bathroom #2: toilet (they have those over here!)

My room: giant and empty. 

As interesting as I know that was, I also took some pictures of the town and campus (stay with me, these are really pretty)

Campus:

I respectfully asked Erin to get out of the shot. So she pouted.

Town (not downtown, but the way home from campus):

Finnish graffiti: pretty offensive.

After a 30 minute walk, you know you're getting close to home when you see the beautiful crane in the distance.

Kortepohja Student Village- home sweet home!
