Nach Hause

Late this evening, I made a decision regarding my short-term accommodations here in Aachen. I chose an apartment I had viewed yesterday, respectively large, good price, location wasn't the best but wasn't bad either and the woman who is renting seemed to be rather friendly. Friendliness among landlords in Germany is of the most importance because Germans are not necessarily known for being understanding, especially to those who do not follow the status quo, which I'm sure will be me.

Either way, the flat is about a 15 minute walk from where I work and during bad weather, I could take the bus pretty easily. Parking, well there really isn't any so I guess its good that I have no car. I think I'll be signing a lease for three months at first, which is great. Either way, I'm glad to finally be in my own place rather quickly.

Last night I left the older womans house and moved into a very modern, nice Guest House of sorts only ten minutes or so from work. I love it here and tried to actually stay here for the next three months but its too expensive. On the same day my Grandfather passed away, my sister had her baby. Circle of life, go figure.
