This is what our apartment looks like! We got a 16-ping
1 (~569.33 sq ft./52.89 m^2) rooftop number in a
gongyu 公寓 (apartment building/block of flats).
View from the front door1What's a 'ping'? It's a unit of measure equal to 2 sleeping tatami2, or ~35 square feet.

They're what cover the floor in the traditional Japanese houses or rooms. You've probably seen 'em in old samurai flicks, or in video games! :D
