WG.

WG is a short version of wohngemainschaft, that would translate to shared living/apartment in English. Many people here in Berlin lives in one, and so do I.

I've already written how I got the room in the apartment I'm staying at now here. Now that it has been a while, let me tell you more about how I have it here.

I have three room mates: Marco, Born and Rosa. Shoobi that I wrote about in a earlier post is going to Madagascar for three month and Marco has come back to the apartment after spending some time in an other part of Germany.

So we are four, all with separate rooms and sharing the kitchen. It's not a big apartment but it works. Born has the biggest room that also connects to the balcony. The kitchen is pretty small and it's hard to be two or more by cooking because there's not so much space. Hanging out in the kitchen is nice though. We have a couch and an arm chair. When we're many, we sit on boxes or just stand.

I really like it here. I like the thing that people just come by and hang out. Just as home in Stockholm. You never know who you're going to meet in the kitchen or who is ringing the door.

Crazy in the kitchen.

And my room mates just make me feel at home. Being themselves, like Marco going around the apartment in his boxer short to make some coffee to wake up. Or Born that has been a rock calling about getting me new keys and such. He also has a way of making anything fun. He and Shoobi where playing guitar the other morning (both are musicians) but instead of song they have written they started singing children songs. And they are both very talented so it fun to hear them and it makes me smile.

Rosa I haven't meet so much yet. We have so different times for being home, and I think I've meet her boyfriend more then her, but she's really helpful and always friendly.

The more time I'm here, the more I like it.

Tonight we'll going to have a good-bye party for Shoobi and his girlfriend Marsha, who are going to Madagascar on Wednesday so may people are coming over and there will be a lot of way to fast german speakers but I think it's going to be nice. How we will all fit in the apartment will be interesting to see. I'm looking forward to it.
