Bauhaus

An oasis in the desert! Oh, yea….one stop shopping for all those home improvement needs. Think Home Depot, right down to the orange and white store colors and recognizable white font lettering. Makes me wonder if this store is owned by the same company that owns Home Depot in the US. There was even a “copy-cat” version in Taiwan known as B&Q, with the same orange colors and white lettering. Whoever owns it, we are forever in your debt.

I know you wonder “How can someone get so excited about finding a hardware store?”. Well, you can take for granted the “I’ll just run up to Home Depot and pick that up” store runs, really any day of the week and well into the late evening hours. You see, we’ve had a little issue with hanging the draperies (Becky – where are you when we need you ?). When you can’t find that certain type screw, drill bit, or paint color, don’t know the city, and don’t speak too much of the language, having a conversation about hardware tools and supplies can take on an entirely new dimension. Suffice to say, we have hit pay dirt with the Bauhaus.
