Hi Dudes! (Would Erik say)<\/p>\n
So, as we are through half way, I thinks it is a good idea to compare what I expected to whats reality here.<\/p>\n
What we knew was, that I will stay in one\u00a0accommodation\u00a0with Erik and two guys who where unknown to us. Of course I expected\u00a0at least\u00a0a little bit of trouble, especially about cleaning the\u00a0apartment, as it would be usually.<\/p>\n
Also, I expected to be quite tired\u00a0after\u00a0the arrival and I expected a certain amount of chaos on our landing. I didn’t have too much expectations about the\u00a0apartment, as we have heard as many good as bad things from former years. I didn’t know if I had to share a room or not and I did not care too much.<\/p>\n
For the living I wasn’t really able to think of our location, I hoped to be close enough to a supermarket. Also I believed that the supermarkets where about the same (they aren’t!). And I never thought I would have to work a lot here. I thought of short days with plenty time to have a look at the country.<\/p>\n
I have been proven wrong in a few cases and correct on others.<\/p>\n
Well, I have long\u00a0working days\u00a0with little time to have a look at the country. On the other\u00a0hand\u00a0I Learn A LOT at work which comes in quite handy.<\/p>\n
We haven’t had any trouble with our „apartment mates“ so far, we all eat together and coordinate the\u00a0cleaning and shopping „expertly“ and we work on it to make it last.<\/p>\n
Also I never expected to share a room as small as mine is (with no room between the 2 beds) while having such a great penthouse apartment. The location is just incredible, just 5 minutes\u00a0foot walk\u00a0away from the center.<\/p>\n
I did expect the prices for food to go up. I recommend anyone to NEVER go into a „spar“, they have German gas-station prices. Just search for Lidl or Aldi, they are decent enough.<\/p>\n
And even though we work that long we still manage to use the weekends at best while we have the greatest of all weathers! (God damn I am so lucky!)<\/p>\n
Oh, and we had a bit of chaos on our landing as we were picked up buy guys that had written „OSXIMT“ on a piece of paper. Additionally they just dropped us of in front of the hostel and we had NO idea what to do.<\/p>\n
Can’t think of anything more right now, just ask in the comments if you have questions!<\/p>\n
See you later! (Yay, blogs done for the week already! \ud83d\ude00 )<\/p>\n
