The new apartment

The move into the new apartment has taken a few days, but I’m in there. Quite an adventure going to get all the furniture, driving to 3 different towns, one an hour away and to 4 different apartments picking up things from everything for my room, to a whole new kitchen. And to explain the German kitchen, that means the countertops, sink, fridge, everything. We already had most of that, but picked up a better set that is bigger and from the GDR, a little bit of East Germany. Kinda funny.

Driving to one place the GPS told us to leave the Autobahn and to go 30 kilometers via side roads through small towns the whole way. Took us forever due to tractors, horses and hikers on the road, as well as the road barely being wide enough for two cars. Basically we were in the middle of nowhere the whole time, driving past fields, the only auto, and definitely not a shortcut.

I’ve got a good setup in my room with furniture, including a bed that is probably too large. It’s about as wide as I am tall, 6 feet and 2 meters long, about the size of a Queen. Got lots of dressers and book cases, and a wardrobe as they don’t really have closets in Germany. If you want storage, you put in some piece of furniture, of which I have a lot, covering most walls. I’ll get pics up soon of the new place.

We also picked up 3 foosball tables, after going to pick up one. Can’t pass up a foosball table. We already sold one and have another to sell, and set up the best for us at the apartment. Moving the refridgerator was a pain in the ass, going down 3 flights of stairs, but it actually has a freezer attached, something that is not so common.

Now we have 2 kitchens, and have to decide which one to use. 2 sinks, 2 fridges, lots of countertops and cabinets, plus some new dishes. And I got a free TV in the whole deal. The woman said the colors were off, but they’re perfectly fine and it’s about a 25 inch.
Alright, that’s my new apartment for now, pretty sweet stuff.
Cheers.
