BUT THE BEST THING EVER! 🥳😁 - our apartment just has a big open window where any and all are literally welcome in because you can see everythinggggg 😂🥳 SO many of our new friends (because you know, we just have to say hi to anyone and everyone just walking by) watch us study, plan, have lessons, sit at the small white table every.day. i think they're convinced that's all we do... i mean we kinda do haha BUT how weird is that.
