A New Place to Live

I am moving into a new apartment. It has two bedrooms, small kitchen and a bathroom that is actually attached to the rest of the apartment. The rent is high for the standard of a local here, but it is very reasonable for the location. You cannot get more in the heart of the city. It is a new apartment and so it is very clean. The view is wonderful it looks over a park and the largest mosque in the city. It is like looking of Central Park in New York. I have another friend that will be moving here soon and we will be able to share it. The couple that I was living with are returning to the U.S. in another month or two and I was faced with the decision to keep renting the house or find something else. The house was actually quite a ways out of the city and it was too much for one person to take care of, maybe if I had a family it would be a perfect place but as a single guy the apartment in the city is much better. I have already started making friends with the guys down stairs that run a printing shop, stationary shop and curtain maker. It is a fairly large building. All of them are friends and they get together every evening to talk and laugh.
The do have a few neighbors on the second floor with me but I have not met them yet.
I am hoping that the apartment will always have lots of guest and it will be a great place for all to hang out and share stories.
