In the last years I lived in lots of places. I still remember the spacious, clear and lighted room and the humid, dark and tiny room in Madrid. I lived on a cool multinational house in Toronto but also with a family on a cellar. My last experience was on a tiny apartment in Seoul with Ann.
All of those places had in common one thing. I was living with other people. My apartment in Würzburg is my first place of my own.
Apartment in Würzburg
Now I have mats on the floors instead of massive amounts of dust. I have boxes filled with stuff instead of big piles of stuff. I have clear walls instead of circuit boards hanging from the wall. And I have stuff that has no other reason to be there than look nice.
It’s not a secret that I have no style. I’m a square headed male engineer and I have a pure analytical mind. I appreciate functionality over style. When I tried to decorate something the result is always a mess. I really like how the pictures look on decoration magazines, but I was not able to create nice spaces combining shapes and colors by my own.
This time I had the opportunity to take over Janette’s apartment. She worked for a decoration company on the last years and according to her, this place is her personal masterpiece. It really looks clean and nice. Zen. After taking out all her pink stuff , her princess palace become my apartment.

Hi, Where is your place? I live in MA, USA and grew up in Würzburg. I’ll be there with my family in early Oct. WE still have some family there, but out of curiosity, would you ever sublet it for brief stays? – Ingrid
I grew up on Friedrich-Ebert- Ring.
