I've gotten a couple of questions about whether we're all settled into our new house or if we get to keep the furniture. I posted on facebook a tour of our new home. The embassy furnishes all of the homes but we do get a say in what we want or don't want. We have to do an initial inventory stating that everything they say we have, we actually do have. After that is completed, we get to tell them to come take stuff away or request additional pieces. Since we decided to ship one of our beds from the states, we'll be asking them to remove one of the ones that they gave us. We also would like additional bookshelves so we'll be requesting those as well.
When our household goods FINALLY arrive from the states, we'll have to return everything they gave us in the welcome kit. This includes the one set of hideous bedding. The cover is 100% polyester and is amazingly difficult to keep clean.
And as far as being settled, we only brought five suitcases with us which were mainly clothes. So unpacking took no time at all. When our stuff arrives next month, it'll be a much different story. Maybe then we'll start to feel like we actually live here instead of being on extended vacation!
