True story: My sister once told an American she had a flatmate. He asked what was wrong with the person.. she was confused, so he explained. He wanted to know what had happened to them and why were they so flat! lmao.
lmao!! I've been asked before if 'flatmate' means they share the same bedroom as me :D
Ken I think apartment sounds so much cooler! Makes me think of a loft apartment in an old warehouse in NY with large windows and amazing views of the skyline *sighs* if only!
Still no net.. turns out the 'totally rewiring' of the flat also meant the stupid guys cut the phone line and the intercom line! Phone line has been reinstalled but omg.. have to run up and down 3 flights to let people in if we're buzzed *cries*
