Well, I saw the apartment today, and it is quite nice - way nicer then expected. I bartered with the landlord and he is giving me a SINGLE room for 130 euros a week. Expensive? You betcha. Cheaper than a hostel? Yup. But the sad thing, that is the cheapest apartment I have found in the city. So I'm going to keep looking, but for now, this will do.
It really sucks outside today. It is a very, very cold rain and wind, and walking to the apartment was not fun at all. Luckily it was only a 15 minute walk. But once I got there, the landlord forgot I was coming so I had to stand out in the rain for about 30 minutes until the landlord picked up the phone. But the apartment is set up with six different bedrooms, and one large TV/kitchen area. My room is pretty small, but there will be dressers and a closet to hang up my stuff. Tomorrow I'm going to have to buy a cheap blanket and pillow.
Last night was definitely my best night in the city. I met some kids from Canada, Australia and Switzerland, and we all went out and hit up a few pubs. Beer here is really, really expensive, so we did not stay out too long. But it was really nice getting to know some new people and hanging out with them for the night...it was quite relaxing!
Since the weather here is so crappy, I'm not too sure what I will be doing tonight. Everyone I met last night is still going to be here today, so that is really nice for me! But that is it from this end of the world. Good luck to Nick and Andrea on their tri tomorrow. Hopefully the weather lets up for ya.
