"kartoffeln, kartoffeln, kartoffeln"

Hola!
Just writing a quick blog to let anyone who is interested know that Sol and I moved in to the expensive apartment in the city centre. Unfortunately we do not have internet there, although hopefully we will fix it, and that is why I haven´t been blogging too much recently.

We moved in last friday and have been spending the weekend with our newfound friend Sabine, going out and meeting interesting people. The first night my two blonde friends were being picked up by 16-year-olds (damn I´m happy I´m not blonde!), one of whom held a beer bottle to his ear and said ´kartoffeln, kartoffeln, kartoffeln´. The second night we found some people our age who brought us to a ´hardcore, underground place´. One of the guys spoke excellent English, but then again he had been in Kalmar, Sweden, to study... ;-) The few words he knew in Swedish are not worth repeating. We have to start teaching foreigners better words, and not only the bad ones...

Yesterday we went to the cinema and saw Babel in its original version with Spanish subtitles. This meant we understood the parts where they spoke English, but if anyone who has seen the movie would like to fill me in on what happened with the Japanese girl´s mother then that would be brilliant!

I wil be back soon with a longer entry describing more of our life here, but for now I´ll just say that it is absolutely brilliant to have found a place to stay at (even though it is situated on the party street no 1 for 16+), where we can wash our clothes (although the drying procedure is a never-ending story) and cook our own meals (although we have still to find more spices).
