Where I live



I live in two rooms in the top floor of this house in north Bonn. It's also the attic so there aren't any windows on the front, just the side. It has sloping ceilings and so if I walk far enough across the room without ducking I'll hit my head on the ceiling. You might wonder how many times I have to bump my head without learning to duck. I don't know yet since I keep doing it. My landlords are the Mechlinskis. They're super nice. When I moved in and they realized I didn't really have any stuff, they put in dishes, blankets, sheets, pillows, towels, etc, which was great. Also on about the third day they put my name beside a door buzzer which for some reason I found very touching. They're not really visible, but there's also chalk markings above the door buzzers. At Christmas time kids go around putting up numbers and symbols on each doorway. I'm not sure exactly what it's about, but apparently it's related to the Three Wise Men, or Kings, whatever they were. There's also a photo of the landlords son's Porsche Boxter. I keep telling him how nice it is hoping for a fast ride on the Autobahn someday. No luck so far.
