New Changes in our Apartment

Our apartment experienced a change while I was in Turkey; my husband decided to wallpaper two of our rooms. He also painted the kitchen, but I don't have a picture of it.

Isn't it pretty?

We are renovating the apartment for our house guests who will be here in September and December. We are trying to make it more our place, because the landlord didn't make it feel homey enough before we moved in. We have started adding those touches, such as the Galatsaray football or soccer team poster you see on the wall.
And the real friendship between Turkey and America

Or the curtains I made
Next project is going to redo the windows, because they are really old (from 1960) and don't close well. But they will have to be put on hold for sometime, as we don't have the money for the renovation or the landlord's approval.

Here is a hint!

from this picture
These spots aren't all that important, France has bigger issues than black spots on the ground in suburbs. But I find the stories or the sightings interesting.

The picture below was once such sighting witnessed at 4 in the morning (more about this in the answer post) just two weeks after moving into our new apartment.

Keep your guesses coming!
Have you figured it out yet?

Guess what this is?

seen in Aulnay Sous Bois





If you have ever been to the suburbs (outside of Paris, the city), you have probably seen one of these black spots on the road.
