We made it. Our place is nicer than expected, it is very small, but... We have our own bathroom, our own kitchen and *our own washer dryer* (Diana is happy about the latter).

You can call us at:
81-78-230-1321 ext.2303
The time difference is 16 hours forward (from Seattle until daylight savings, Oct. 31 at which point we will be 17 hours ahead).
