first of all we've got Ko's bday:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KO !!!
i wish u a good sushi year


second of all, the freshest news are that 2 days ago i've finally moved to my new appartment. which means that u have to send me letters to:

Mary Loitsker
Friedrichstr. 65
78464 Konstanz
Germany


the house a 'duplex' with a gorgeous little garden. one half is an old couple who're also paid to maintain the garden. my half is Verena, Tim, Axel and I, in a 2 stories house, and some crazy lady that lives on the third floor but never comes down...
the house is really cool. i have ritzpat parketim in my room. and the flatemates are genuine sweethearts. i will finally get to speak some german in my house. the only problem is that it's incredibly filthy! the kitchen stinks from tim's cigarettes and Verena's sour cabbage. yesterday i practically couldnt control myself anymore and started to clean the freezer because there was no space for my apple strudel. i extracted out of it half a bucket of ice with pieces of broken beer bottle and another piece of something that can't even b identified anymore cause it was completely covered with ice. i cleaned all the ash trays too. apparently the strategy in the house was to just to start a new ash tray after the old one is completely full... now i'm sorry i threw it away... maybe they collect the butts... i almost got a stroke when i found a yogurt cup thrown into the organic garbage can! and they had only 4 different garbages instead of 5! something is wrong with these ppl's german genes! throwing plastic in the organic garbage here is worse than running with your car over an old lady that crosses the road!
but it was all worth it when Verena left coffee for me in the morning :) and the garden, oh my god, the garden!
also Tim works in a pub so i'm always invited for a free drink ;)
i still dont have a mattress and a closet. till sunday i sleep in an Axel's room cause he's away. every room in the house has a different smell. Axel's smells like a dirty carpet. at least its not the cabbage.
but i'm happy :) the bakery is on the corner, there's a telephone (!) an oven (!) every flatmate has contributed 5 different kinds of tea for the public good, and the garden is devine
u'r all wellcome!
