On Mikluha Miklaya street stands my apartment building (tall building behind blue arch). God provided a great place! It's a 10-minute walk from the Metro station, which can then take me anywhere in the city!

Most high-rise apartments in Moscow have trash shoots like this.

This is a picture of the stairwell leading up to my second-floor apartment. It's smelled of urine for about a couple weeks now, but it's really not that bad.Hardly anyone in Moscow has a dryer. All wash gets done by hand or by machine, and then we hang it out on our balconies on these racks to air dry!
