I have to spend today waiting around for the gepack service to bring round those two embarrassingly large bags, so I thought I'd take the time to share some photos of mah new place:
I love how light and big my room and the kitchen are, and how much space there is for all the nick nacks I've accumulated. I also love that I have a balcony, which I'm sure I will enjoy mightily during the summer months - alas, I must keep the door shut now. And I really like everything the girl I'm renting from has left me - I sorta feel like I'm living in an indie Anthropologie. I already really feel at home and am looking forward to the other bags arriving so I can really put everything in its place (fingers crossed they actually come...you never know with Deutsche Bahn or its services gahhh).
I'm living in Wedding, a neighborhood just north of Berlin central that is heavily Turkish (= lots of good food opportunities). My apartment is just a five minutes walk from the Gesundbrunnen Center, a large shopping mall with a Kaufland (see the megastore entry), an Aldi (grocery store owned by the same company as Trader Joes!) and...gasp...the German version of Wal-Mart! Plus there is a U-bahn and S-bahn stop right there. So alles gute.
Update: My bags just came! Weeeeeeee
German Wal-Mart....omg
