RP: Did you have your own bathroom facilities, too?

NM: I think so. I can't remember. I guess I took a bath, but I don't remember.

RP: You had all that in one, one room?

NM: Yes. I think so.

Off Camera: Were they two stories? 'Cause that one picture of me, they look more like some of the military bases in, in Germany where they were like two or three stories high those buildings.
