My first few weeks

Hello everyone, I created this blog just for my travelling and to keep you all informed on what life is like in Germany. I arrived here on the 21st of January. My in-processing at the base was a nightmare. I guess it can't be a simple process because after all, I did just move to another country. They would have me drive one place saying I needed some "forms" and then I would get sent right back to the previous place, if that makes any sense. This happened about 100 times within the two weeks.

Anyways, I will quit my complaining. I am getting settled in a little better now. I found an apartment in a village called Weilerbach just outside of Kaiserslautern. Kaiserslautern is a major city and there are many villages surrounding it, including several US military bases. Here are some pictures of my apartment. The apartment is 105 square meters (about 1130 square feet) so there is plenty of room for whoever wants to visit. I could have actually found something nicer but I was sold on the view from the balcony. The rent is monthly so if I find another place I like better later on, I will move.

    Nice balcony view. I can understand why you picked that place.

    The streets in Germany are very clean. Don't they throw trash everywhere like us Americans?

    Gary,

    They are very clean here. They have a very strict recycling plan. One of the briefs I had when I first got here put it perfectly. Germany is about the size of Montana. There are 82 million people living in Germany and 902,000 living in Montana. They have to have a good system or it will fall apart.
