The hardwood cabinet (or faux veneer, whatever the case may be). The sink and kitchen counter. I don't know what I was expecting (but I was pretty sure it was not mud huts with straw roofs). Even my mother-in-laws place in Peru looks somewhat non-Western. The house is entirely made of cement and so is everything in teh kitchen - the sink, the cupboards, the counter top.<BR/><BR/>I suppose I was hoping the kitchen cabinets wouldn't look exactly like the ones I could buy at my local home builder. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, this is a consequence of globalization.<BR/><BR/>I noticed that back in June when I was driving down to my brother's wedding (about 700Km). Evey town we passed looked like a carbon copy clone of one another. You had the same big box stores, the same "parking lot" style malls. It was depressing. What ever happened to travelling and discovering that unique little store?Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466885792177930052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20979114.post-33230635710443269542007-10-22T23:15:00.000+08:002007-10-22T23:15:00.000+08:00lolololwell it looks tropical & cool!thanks millio...lololol<BR/>well it looks tropical & cool!<BR/>thanks million for taking that tag!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20979114.post-74412107911871153982007-10-22T11:21:00.000+08:002007-10-22T11:21:00.000+08:00coffee fairy: yah, I know bout all the crazy pric...coffee fairy: yah, I know bout all the crazy prices right now. I thought bout it n I figured I wouldn’t charge at some crazy price. I wanna see how much the whole reno deal is gonna cost me first. The place doesn’t have any facilities like pool or tennis courts though so I guess the rent shouldn’t be that ex.Cavalockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180674877360799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20979114.post-90845033107025417942007-10-22T10:59:00.000+08:002007-10-22T10:59:00.000+08:00hey hey hey! nice unit you got there! how much are...hey hey hey! nice unit you got there! how much are you renting it for? we've just renewed our lease and was able to negotiate to bring down the 100% rent increase to 55%.

Besides, you have so much going on!! <BR/><BR/>So, what do you plan on doing to the apartment before renting it out? That does sound like an engaging project. I hope you enjoy it and will post some pics up as the work progresses.<BR/><BR/>I hope things are going well on the job front.
