485N 200E

That was my first home address in the US. The house was behind the city's main bus stand which made it easy to commute to most parts of the city. The house in itself was such a raw home that no one would imagine a kind of that now! I am talking about Spring 2003.

Here some highlights of that house.
1) No TV
2) No Microwave
3) No couch or sofa to sit on - all we had were camping chairs which were foldable.
4) No computer in the house - nobody owned a computer. So, no internet access once we were home
5) No vacuum cleaner - hence the place went unvacuumed nearly a YEAR!
6) No chopper/mixer in the kitchen
7) No latch in the restroom :(. We had to obstruct the restroom door when opened with a closet door
8) We were 4 roommates - Nobody had a cell-phone. We had one landline which was shared by all 4 of us
9) None of us owned a car - getting a ride from school or walmart was like luxury for us.

With all these "No"s, life moved on without any issues. Now, all 4 of us live in a lot better state than that. We need to talk to ourselves how we lived 4 years ago.

I do remember visiting the house :-) You should also explain the state of your home and the surroundings in detail. You should have uploaded the photo of your home covered by snow.

All said, the location was quite convenient. You had the majestic bus stand just behind your house. And a good chinese restaurant nearby.
