Pictures on Demand!

Apparently this week I am taking picture requests. Because Mommy gave me a list of things she wanted pictures of and I... well, I went out and took pictures, of course.

The first item on the list was the front gate.

And the mailboxes too.  I have a key to my mailbox but it does not work.  I am going to have to do something about that, but not right now.  Maybe Monday.

Anyway, one must first unlock and open the gate, then there's a big empty corridor at the end of which is a metal staircase, and a back gate.  Up the staircase is... another staircase to yet a third level, and an outdoor hallway type thing which leads to my apartment.

That picture faces the staircase that I just mentioned. The overhead walkways are for the third level that I also just mentioned.  The open door on the right there, 19C, that's mine.  It looks like this:

Hmm, I believe that covers the second thing on the list, which was "outside."  Oh and this. Next up, the view out the balcony. Honestly, it's nothing exciting.

To the right...

To the left... See? Nothing exciting.  Though that building with all the staircases up the back of it to the right is pretty cool.  Also, I have neighbors down there somewhere who play some nice loud music and talk a lot. Not a big deal, as you can see I have the balcony doors wide open.

Fourth order of business. Umm. Oh yes, the noodle place. I love the noodle place!

It is that green place right there. It's called Eazie.

My interior picture is pretty crappy. That's what I get for trying to take a concealed phone picture.  Anyway, basically you step up to that counter and tell them what kind of meat you want in your noodles (you can get like... anything. Shrimp, fish, beef, chicken, eggs, lamb, I don't even know what else. I always get chicken, and I like chicken so I don't really need to be able to read the rest.) and then what kind of sauce you want--there are a bunch and I'm not listing them for you--and then what kind of noodles you want. Well, it's not really just noodles.  You can get steamed rice or fried rice or ramen noodles or udon noodles or chinese egg noodles or a wrap...  After that, you pay and then move on down the counter where you can pick 5 vegetables to put in it.  Well, not just vegetables. They have pineapple as well. And cucumber. I've never really heard of cucumber in a stir-fry type dish, but whatever the people like is what goes, I guess.  Then they take it back and fry it up for you, and then (since I always get take-away) they bring it up to the counter and yell out the number from the slip they gave you when you paid (this is where it helps to understand numbers in Dutch).  And they ask if you want chopsticks.  And put your takeout box in a bag and then you leave.  Well, you can eat in also and then they bring your order to your table in a big bowl. I have never eaten in. That's okay with me.

I always get the same thing there. Even right down to the 5 vegetables. I should try something different. I'm really curious about the wraps, and the rice.  I could vary on sauce too but I do really like that teriyaki sauce I get.  Oh, I'm just so good at staying in my ruts though. I doubt I will ever get anything different than my usual.

This concludes my SECOND BLOG POST OF THE DAY.  I should not keep this up. I will run out of things to talk about and then I will post even more infrequently. (Google Chrome says infrequently is a word. Yay!) Though I'm not sure that's possible. I've been trying to post, sorry about that.
