Wir Sind Umgezogen! Or, from the Gallows to the Altstadt: we moved!

As many of you know, the strain of student dormitory life on the 12^th floor of a condemned building in the middle of a construction zone was, to say the least, becoming dire.

Maybe the following pictures are a good example of how the terrible student living conditions in Neuenheimer Feld incite…

a.) discontent

b.) psychological unrest

c.) creepy behavior

d.) all of the above.

d.) all of the above?

About 4 days before we moved out of the old building, this gallows made a sort of disturbing appearance on the 11^th floor, where we got out of the elevator to reach the 12^th, which is only accessible by the staircase. Anyway I’m not going to venture a guess as to what motivated its (very sturdy) construction. I’ll just say I’m pretty stoked to be out of there.

Below are the pictures of our new place, which is located on the 4^th floor of a small building in the Altstadt, a block away from the university library, across the street from a bakery (!!), around the corner from a grocery store, a fifteen minute walk from where we go to classes (so long, public transit!), and we know some really nice people who live in the building. You'll notice that we have (it now seems important note) a walk-in bathroom, and the very last picture is a view of Peterskirsche from our window!
