8 houses, 2 apartments and innumerable third world guesthouses. My favourite? The last house I had in Brisbane before I left. Three floors, three verandahs and art nouveau tiles in the bathroom. My least favourite? A guesthouse in Bangkok that had concrete walls, floor and ceiling, and no windows. Perfect if you wanted to nurture a heroin addiction and slash your wrists, but I'm still a bit young for that.
The ridiculous thing is that some of those third world guesthouses were nicer than my current flat. London real estate is depressing :(
