I must say, the request for double-width, queen-size bed linens is a little unorthodox, isn't it?  I don't know if I've seen that.

It's a little bit funny that they ask me to bring pots and pans, even though "Hot plates and deep fryers or appliances with open elements" are prohibited.  The room is supplied with a mini fridge and a microwave, so if I'll be doing most of my cooking via microwave, probably it's better to stock up on microwavable containers.

It's also kind of funny that they tell me to bring a toaster, kettle and ironing board.  Not life necessities, if you ask me.

And it's kind of forward of them to ask me to bring furniture.  If I'm moving by bus, I doubt I'll be able to bring any.

Well, I sent an email to my future roommate to introduce myself and see what he's going to be bringing with him.
