Still alive, still unpacking, still no internet at home. A trip to Ikea is long overdue (at least Ikea sells the same furniture all over the world, so our new German furniture will go perfectly with our Italian, Swiss, and American furniture).
Another thing we need to take care of is choosing a German cell phone plan. They are much more expensive here than in Switzerland or Italy, so we’re actually trying to pay attention to what we sign up for this time. Other than the cell phone plans, I’m pretty consistently amazed at how much less things cost here than they did in Zurich.
Every time I leave the apartment, I fall a little more in love with Munich. It has a great vibe, combined with beautiful architecture and interesting people. Our neighborhood seems more fun each day – new shops, restaurants, cafes… I find myself walking around with a goofy smile, bubbling over with excitement to get to know this city. And trust me, I am not normally a bubbly person.
I’m guilty… I did it, I swear!
🙂
Welcome to Deutschland… I’m glad you’re loving it so much.
Goofy smiles are good!
Moving to a new place is so exciting! 😀
I recommend Anything But Vodafone. We had sticker shock at the cell phone prices here too. We settled on Vodafone and it was a big mistake.
Woo hoo, the interrogation room works. 🙂 Thanks for the welcome, Adam.
TBF – but I have my image to think of… I can’t be letting people think I’m a cheerful person or something…
CN – thanks for the advice! It looks like we’re going with O2.
I’m surprised about the cell phones, I was sure Switzerland was supposed to have the most expensive plans of all Europe (at least that’s what Le Matin Bleu claimed)… but I guess not. Good luck with choosing a provider and plan!
Well, O2 is a good choice, I use it myself. And their German HQ is also in Munich, the “Uptown Munich Tower” close to Olympiapark.
“Every time I leave the apartment, I fall a little more in love with Munich.”
That’s great. I have always wanted to visit. I hear it’s wonderful.
