@casabolanos: The apartment hunt has begun 😵💫 While I haven’t really experienced any culture shocks because I’ve spent the last 12 years traveling to Colombia, I didn’t expect having to list an OVEN as an apartment amenity 😅 I’m 99% sure most of our family here have ovens but never use them, and they’re not standard necessarily in Colombian apartments. Colombian recipes don’t really call for baking 🤷🏻♀️ If your apartment is not amueblado (aka furnished), you might need to buy an oven, washing machine, and even fridge yourself. Yes, even when renting! That’s a big difference than in the U.S. when those are standard appliances included in rentals/home sales What do you want to know about apartment hunting in Medellin? I’ve got some great questions in my stories I’m answering too! Follow @casabolanos for more life abroad in Colombia #moveabroad #livingabroadlife #familyabroad #livingabroad #creatorsearchinsights

True lmao my mom used to have an oven but it broke and since we very rarely ever used it she never replaced it

You’re right! Growing up here I remember I used to think ovens were for rich people only, because I only saw them in movies. Now I have an oven and having grown up it doesn’t seem impossible to have it, still pretty uncommon though.
