i'm in berlin - have spent the last couple of days looking for apartments. at first i did it kind of casually but i have since become more wired at my apartment searching, mapping each one and figuring out how far it is from the u-bahn, imagining based on streetplans, etc. the first apartment we saw today was in prenzlauer berg, of course where walter benjamin grew up, beautiful and airy but was a 5th floor walkup, with strangely shaped rooms and a floor veneered with laminate, which sticks to your feet. a guy who said he was learning to teach music at UdK lived there. i liked it but it looked out onto a construction site. i am learning all sorts of german vocabulary: provision, provisions frei, Einbaukueche, Kaution, 2-zimmer wohnung, vermieten...

does anyone happen to know of anyone trying to get rid of their apt in berlin?
now, i will go out and eat another apfeltasche.
