A Wolverine Abroad: Apartment

So on my second day in Madrid, I found an apartment! According to the other people in the program here, I've set the record for the quickest arrival and finding a place. I actually sort of found the place by luck. I signed up for a site that lets you post announcements for what kind of room you are looking for, and then you can contact people and they can contact you. I did this my first afternoon here, and by that evening I had an appointment setup for the place. The next afternoon, I took the Metro for the first time, didn't get lost either, and checked it out. The room is small but has everything I need. Kitchen is completely stocked with gadgets but small on counter-top. But the main things were that the apartment is in a great location, 5 minute walk from the Metro I need to take, and the people are really nice. I'll be living with Felipe, who owns the apartment, and Tiffany who is another renter. Felipe taught Spanish in London last year through the same program as this one, and Tiffany is teaching French in Madrid through the program too. Felipe speaks English and Spanish, while Tiffany speaks French, English, and Spanish, so I'll get to practice my Spanish a lot but also can communicate in English when necessary.
