Having lived in Germany long ago, I expected a small frig and maybe less cabinet space than I was used to. I didn't expect to see a large metal tank sticking out from under the cabinet area near the 4 top burner plate. It was something I expected to see at a picnic - outdoors. "You'll learn how to turn it on and off so you can use the stove," my husband smiled. (Stove? I didn't see any stove.)
"Cook on that? Not in this life time, " I mumbled. "I'll blow up the kitchen and then some!"
By the way, where's the oven?"
My husband shook his head. We don't use ovens in India. I moaned.
"You can always use the microwave," my husband pointed to the small modern, compact, microwave sitting in the corner.
I peered into the cabinets. Lovely white dishes completed the over all very comfortable kitchen: the dishes sat on newspapers in the cub board; as did the drinking glasses, and the silverware in the drawer. (Later I discovered the bedroom clothes cup boards were also lined with newspaper.) I sighed, thinking I better make a list...
I forgot to mention the beautiful, large (almost 4 ft by 4ft) window in the kitchen It was left wide open to air out the apartment for us. It had no screens. We are on the 4th floor.
I immediately ran from room to room to close All the large open windows. I could have sworn we asked for a second floor?
