some views from inside and outside the apartment.
a funny story on the side: you can see my great grandparents in the last image. my great grandfather's father was a very successful tin mining tycoon - i read in a book that my great, great grandfather once scoffed at an offer of 8 million dollars for his mine in the late 1800s and said that 10 million would be worth considering. later on, the family fortune was famously squandered away by one (my great grandfather's) generation.
