The Couches

The couches in our apartments were interesting, to say the least.

In the lobby there were three couches for us to eat breakfast and lunch on. While they were covered in some fancy looking fabric, they were pretty much wooden frames with some cardboard in there. Cardboard was the secret ingredient in pretty much every piece of furniture we had in there.

And so a couch with three cushions would usually be fine for five or six people in the states, but these couches were extremely uncomfortable to sit between two cushions because you could feel the wooden sticks in your rear when you sat, let's just leave it at that.

Also, random story about a couch. They were randomly repaired in places you wouldn't expect, so one day I was sitting on the couch and moved my foot somehow so that a nail was sticking up from the side of the couch and when I put my foot down it stuck far up into the sole of my foot. Needless to say those couches were uncomfortable and bloodthirsty. And yet we still loved them.
