The second week didn’t go much better than the first. We had great difficulty getting our phones to work and found out we wouldn’t have internet for over a week. With no internet, not tv, no books, no music, and little else to entertain us, we tried to explore the city as much as possible, but I ended up with blisters so bad I actually wondered if I was going to have to seek medical intervention (people with MS have to be careful of such things, just like diabetics.) The week ended with me having a bit of a nervous breakdown and running away to Hamburg without telling my roommate where I was going. Not the most considerate thing, but the situation was complicated and at that moment he was part of the problem.

A short tour of our apartment
Our frustration with things not working right mounts.
We named the apartment “The Panopticon” because it is in a courtyard surrounded by taller buildings and we have no curtains on the windows. This was us waiting for the internet to be hooked up after a week with no form of communication.
Weinbergsweg, the street in front of our apartment.
