Moving in to New Apartment

So finally… I moved in to my new apartment in Bremen on October 1^st.  As I mentioned before, this apartment isn’t ideal but I really didn’t have a choice.  But maybe in a different perspective: I am destined to have this apartment.

The furniture provided are old and far from classy.  Just take a look at the pictures.  The cabinet reminded me of something from my grandparent’s house.  It even doesn’t have a handle anymore!  The mattress is hard.  Up until now, I still wake up with a few sore on my body.

Furthermore, the cleanliness of the room was below my standard.  There were spider webs and dust everywhere.  If one walk in the room without shoes or slippers, one can feel the dust stick on the feet.  I asked the caretaker to clean first before I moved in.  But I said that when I was in the kitchen, so he only cleaned up the kitchen!  Even that, it was still beyond my standard!  See, I really don’t have a choice!!!

So yeah, starting from that day, I was busy in making up my apartment.  Not just buying some things but also cleaning up part by part.  Even to clean it, I have to buy all the broom, brush, cleaning cream, etc.  And this happened between my registration activities in campus, so I felt like I always went home to an awful place.  Fortunately, on Friday, I had a free time.  So I can concentrate to just cleaning my apartment.  I spent 8 hours to clean to make it comfortable for me.  Take a look at the pictures to see the differences.  If you don’t see any differences, well at least I feel comfortable to live in there now…
