I think it's about 8 degrees celcius outside and the sun hasn't come out to play.
It's been raining most of the night and the ground is still wet. It's quite an experience having to rug up each time i want to have a cigarette downstairs. Most of the time i'm wrapped up like a cocoon decked out in my feather down coat, scarf, long sleeve top and sweater when i'm outside. But i must say my indoor booties that i got are like my second layer of skin... i love them!
But when i'm not watching t.v in German and MTV gets a bit mind numbing, i do manage to get by my day quite nicely. There's either dishes to wash, sites to browse, apartments to look at or random sight-seeing to do. Although i haven't got into the German yet, i will have to start language classes in order for me to get through my days without a chaperon. Uh-oh... classes start on April 7th!
Anyway, yesterday Boobers and i went apartment hunting. The one place that had potential ended up being a total No-No. Although the front for the building was beautiful and the interior of the common area was great, the inside wasn't. It was one of those historic heritage type buildings. Our appointment was at 5pm and although we were early, there was already a crowd of interested parties loitering around outside. There must have been about 20 people all smooshed into the 65 metre squared flat and got a tad too claustophobic. Not sure how the noise from the train tracks would be as time went on but we said we're keeping our options open.
We wondered why they didn't take a photograph of the bathroom and now we know.
It was very narrow and i reckon if you sat on the loo, ones' knees could possibly kiss the wall. The shower was very small too and unless you were a midget or anorexic, chances are you'd find it doable. But it definitely was not something that either my sister nor i could deal with in the long run. I had planned to take photos but there were way too many people in there and there would be no point.
So NEXT!
Tomorrow we're looking at another flat so i'm keeping my fingers crossed! The description sounds nice and hopefully i can take photos. Anyway, i gotta get ready soon, i'm off to the supermarket... we're running out of food!
