Pierre's Palace

Here in Varanasi, I live in a fancy apartment with an older Dutch man named Pierre. Pierre's interests include classical Hindustani music, interior design, and the color green.


We have marble floors, a glass table, and an air conditioner (which works when the power is on). The apartment isn't really finished yet, so there isn't any furniture other than the table, but that's okay. I've been sleeping on a foam mat on the floor in the main room because that's where the air conditioner is.
Other amenities include a water filter, a gas hookup and burner, a detached shower head, and a Western-style toilet. Amen.
