Langemarckstr.

My first address in Germany - Langemarckstr. 62. Its across the river Weser. Its a part of the Neustadt or the New town. There is a Srilankan family that lives on the first floor. On my second day here, their house was broken into and robbed at 10 30 in the morning, while they were working downstairs in their store.

The room is 11 sq meters, which is small but quite comfortable for me at the moment. I share the house with three other people. I have this room till the end of March.

I've put Baking paper to cover my window at the moment.. but I think curtains of some kind would be a better idea.. 

I can't reach the microwave which is on top of the fridge. I am at least a few, perhaps several inches shorter than the rest. We share the fridge - in four sort of uneven parts - each of us is meant to have our own space, but we often use whatever space we find. H calls me the Little Indian. Sindhu she is maybe a bit taller than you. So are A and P.  All three of them are vegetarians.  H eats meat once in a while maybe. I am sort of happy not eating meat too.

I can't keep plants alive anywhere in the world. But I think I am not the only one with this curse.

Happy holidays

Dearest Ishes and Swindy,

I am guessing the holidays are treating you well and you are being looked after and fed well. And you encountering pleasant surpises and exciting stories. Looking to hear from you two.

Love much,

Avans
