Stove, sink, refrigerator, pans, paper towels and other kitchen utensils in new York is clearly better than in Moscow.
But the battery is slightly warm, tube “snot”, hangers, stupid and in General a little messy.

Now I’m in new York, we carry a truly motley company in the city.
During foreign trips, I try to settle in airbnb-apartments: they allow you to notice a few things that will not show in the hotels.
Now I’m shooting a typical new York apartment average price and average degree of slyshannoe typical for NY. The apartment is explicitly built for change – empty closets, no master cute heart detail.
Kitchen:
Here are ten differences from my usual Moscow apartment regulations, which immediately catch the eye.
1. Small local pan one and a half times larger than my large frying pan at home (that breaks five eggs into this ten).
Around the pan – stove-airport, which is convenient to store food for cooking, and generally things.
Home my stove, though it seems to me that big, less than this twice.
2. Should also pay attention to deliberately massive handle of the scoop.
3. Naturally, the sink also did not disappoint in size (plates on the left – a tremendous ikeevskogo):
4. A large roll of paper towels is also bigger than Moscow normal human.
Left – on the contrary, smaller water bottle, it should carry water home.
The weight of patricroft back funny massive handle:
Almost all about the size, will soon cease.
5. The usual small bottles of water and our pusadee prosemite. This is a mid-size, there are still smaller, but it is also flawed.
6. Store the carton of eggs, a dozen eggs:
7. The apartment is a small refrigerator, and it is unusually wide. In a large American fridge you can live strong Moscow family.
8. Kettle in the apartment there, but hot water can be very fast drip coffee maker. Pour without coffee in 20 seconds Cup ready, you can pour. Wildly, then you get used.
9. No microwave, but there is razogreve for toast and stuff:
10. The local electric plug pins are round and rectangular:
The owners prepared under Russian adapter plug (and in the closet there someone had left a Russian semolina; in NY in General Russian food is no problem).
11. The Threesome stuck in his fork:
12. The batteries in the normal off state. Included lever and then become lukewarm (by Moscow standards are not working and need to call the master). It’s November now, time has come and the snow at night minus seven, and then in the night cold, but the heat during the day, fuck the sun and in the shade plus thirteen. It is seen that the whole apartment is ground under cooling in each cooling window air conditioners, not able to warm in the rooms and fans.
By Moscow standards it is dirty, the local is quite OK. new York, compared with the Moscow city untidy, well, that’s the type on the photo in the corner. Last visit to my neighborhood from the sidewalk a few days lay the corpse of a cat I until the departure went past him – it seems that in some areas of the city because of the economy clean once a week. Since that time two years have passed, to the present time of my arrival the corpse anymore.
13. Wrote a paragraph and noticed right away the movement: there is enormous cockroach, a scale like some sort of rhinoceros beetle, so large that even beautiful; in General, all the usual things in the large size look like some kind of beautiful – for example, the giant chair (http://www.artlebedev.ru/saturum/), or is there a skyscraper. Feeling unusually shocking.
The apartment does not seem excessively dirty; a typical new York style.
14. Kondishn. On the handles range from “minimal cooling” to “maximum cooling”:
15. The column responsible for the hot water in the taps and batteries. If you open the valve on the gas pipe, will smell like gas.
I have a General feeling that to call the master is very expensive and so in new York apartments all on the nozzle: the last time I had to fix a broken shower, which caused the housing master some unexpected enthusiasm. Wi-Fi sometimes cuts off, the locks kind of puny, switches don’t work. I call it all the effect of the corpse of a cat.
16. People here love the black color in the design of the packaging. That’s a big pile of salt the size of a hand:
17. Micropack gum:
18. Sesame oil, which in MSK we have to go to “Lao Li” in Miusskaya (by the way, I recommend – great coffee shop), sold here in several types anywhere:
19. But to find a yogurt – almost the problem. On the packaging of yogurt explains what kefir is, and what is normal food, though unusual, is called kefir, drink kefir:
20. Avocado is finally soft and ripe as it should be. In Moscow, if the shop sells soft ripe avocado, Avocado arrives the Police of Rigidity and closes the point of fuck:
21. Well, beet hummus, where without it. It is a pity that in Moscow, the hummus is the category of the exotic, the ordinary, the bean paste.
22. Keychain with a refrigerator – a beer opener. All the fun that it is printed on tride printer, on the side – the name of the district tride printed.
23. From the same printed – hung around the house a terrible racking and wonderful every little thing:
From an aesthetic point of view, everything looks stupid American, but I wanted to come home and have to whip up myself a shelf of some kind.
24. The faucet in the shower. Unscrew counter clockwise a couple full turns and then get hot:
25. What about the American bowl all have long known – at the bottom there is always a few inches splashing water, and it is convenient: poop immediately fall into the water and pollute the ware, it turns out neater.
26. The usual huge trashcan (for comparison – in the bottle almost 4 years). Garbage bags vertically elongated.
27. The door to the corridor in the apartments are always flimsy. If you do a normal soundproof door, to alert the neighbors will call the cops.
28. The typical American handle on the package to make it easy to take a big hand:
29. Why you need the thing in front of the pan, I don’t know. I have killed a cockroach:
Well, without pictures:
30. In new York, overtake now working overpull that allows you to pick up and deliver on the way of passing passengers. Overpool cheaper, but not immune from confusion when the taxi driver has collected a trump Royal flush of the passengers, suddenly blocked the road made the whole enterprise unprofitable, and after the hook by area the driver had chosen to return to the place where he got them. I think that in Russia will see soon a hell of a hassle.
Now.
