Taco night

Last night Keith (one of my fellow teachers) had a taco night at his apartment. Everyone's apartment that I've seen so far is nicer (and bigger) than mine. I'm hoping to move out next month as there is a rumour that one of the other teachers is leaving. Keith's apartment is furnished with stuff he found out on the street. Apparently here there is a lot of "Keeping up with the Jones'" or should I say "Keeping up with the Kims"? People are constantly updating their apartments to show they can afford new stuff and they just leave the old stuff (often not very old) out on the pavement (I so almost said sidewalk then!) and you can just help yourself. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled! Anyway, Keith had a settee, nice armchair, coffee table - all of which he had found out on the street. We had a nice evening, drinking beer, eating tacos and watching Discovery (one of the few English language channels) on tv!
