Our Apartment in Sumy



We live on the 8th floor of an apartment complex here in Sumy, a city of approx. 400,000 people. Most everyone lives in apartments which appear to be fairly old and run down. It's actually nicer inside than out. These pictures show the front and back of our complex. There are small shops that line the front of the building selling baby clothes, flowers, cell phones, a casino, liquor store and a few other small shops. We pay $75 per night that we split with another couple here adopting a little boy from the orphanage. So for $37.50 per night we are not complaining :) We have a bedroom, kitchen and a hot shower each day! We also have a washer but no dryer. Everyone here washes clothes and then hangs them out on a line to dry.
