The Arrival!
02/07/2006
Finally I have arrived in Deutschland! Got into Nuremberg at around 1am this morning as my flight was delayed by two hours grr. I’m convinced that this was so the pilots could watch Germany’s victory over Argentina lol. Met Nell at the airport (the girl who I am replacing at Siemens) and took a taxi to my new accommodation. When the lift opened to my floor I was greeted by the sight of an Indian guy waddling around in the tightest pair of speedos you have ever seen. It was too much for my tired eyes.
Basic is not the word, I don’t even have carpet! I’m sure I will get used to it. Have a look at the pics above. (Apologies for the mess, im missing a cupboard dont'ya know!)
I am on the 6th floor (there are 9 altogether) and each floor has about 20 people on it. Sharing a bathroom and shower room with 20 people is a bit weird; I am quite used to the luxury of my Warehouse en suite, but I will make do. My main complaint is that the toilet paper is proper rough, I think I will use it to sand down the sharp edges on my cupboards it is that stiff.
On a lighter note Nell is taking me into town to buy a few essentials soon and then we will go and watch England destroy Portugal!
