WOHNUNGSSUCHE

Bye-bye Budapest, hallo Berlin. After two weeks of traipsing around Europe, it was time to start organising Berlin.

First challenge: finding an apartment. Jana and I spent four days visiting apartments in a few of Berlin's districts. Some good, some average, some small, some expensive. A real mixed bag. Good news ~ we managed to find one that will be my home for the next 12 months, at least. As of next week, home is a shared apartment right off Bergmannstraße in Kreuzberg.
One very happy/excited Steph.

Second challenge: getting used to the U-Bahn. The map may seem confusing, but given half a day and the criss-crossing U- and S-Bahn's were a mystery no more. Pronouncing half the station names, on the other hand... Möckernbrücke, Schlesisches Tor and Gneisenaustraße, to name a few.

Wilkommen bei Deutschland!
