I am living somewhere! The roof flat at Beethovenstraße 54, Kissing. The area is full of extremely new houses, this particular street not even featuring on Google Maps, nor its adjoining road Verdistraße, *groan*. The 'Neugebiet' is fairly nondescript and not very close to the centre of Augsburg, around 20 minutes drive away. Thankfully it is not too far from work either, again only 20 minutes. At least it has a couple of REWE's, which are the closest Germany seems to get to UK supermarkets in terms of range of products and quality.
The flat itself is clean, very new as one might expect, pretty sizeable and not too unreasonably priced. Either way, it makes a good base whence to organise everything here. Pictures will follow eventually.
Next week, I will be moving to my accommodation for the rest of the year. This will be as close to the centre of town as it is possible to get, almost directly behind the Rathaus. I am renting the flat from friends of my father. It is in a moderately old building with a stream running outside the front door. The area is full of restaurants and places to drink, which is good. Again, rent is not unreasonable, and this place has the benefit of being within easily cyclable distance of work. Unfortunately, it is unfurnished, which is going to necessitate buying some furniture from IKEA or scabbing some off people at work.
Most importantly, however, there will be space for friends to crash!
