For anyone who thought moving to Munich would be glamorous and exciting and [insert your own comment here], hopefully that will come. For now, it is the tediousness of settling into a new place in a new city and all that comes with it.
For instance, our big excitement of the week was getting our washing machine in! Whoo hoo!! We can finally start to tackle our massive pile of dirty clothes, new towels and new bedding, 5 kilos (which is about 4 towels and a pair of jeans) and 2 hours at a time (so it stays energy / water efficient). And that just gets them clean, not dry. Our dryer cost 7€ and needs no electricity – it is a drying rack.
For anyone who made it past a paragraph about laundry, I am sorry to say it doesn't get much more exciting. Though I am happy to say our week didn't revolve around only laundry. I also found the cupcake place – hallelujah!! They were very tasty, however for 3€ each, I will not be frequenting the place.
We also bought our mattresses and carried them 600 m according to Google maps, but according to my arms it was 1.9 km. Also, no one batted an eye at two people dragging two twin-sized mattresses down the sidewalk – which makes me think it wasn’t too odd .
We can’t wait until our lives don’t consist of constant shopping, which hopefully we can take a break this weekend and actually do something cool. Until then, I will leave you with Germany’s interpretation of Texas (though all our Phoenix friends know saguaros aren’t in Texas):
