Wednesday, I went to look at another apartment, this one very close to Marianplatz and actuality owned by the local DinkelAcker brewery. Turned out to be too expensive and too competitive to even make it worth putting an offer in on it. If you wanted to rent it, you had to not only install a new kitchen ($3000) but also successfully interview with an owners representative.
At this point, I am looking at renting an apartment of our own like home ownership in the US.
Afterwards, I met Saori at her office for a goodbye party for one of the interns, Ryan. There was a lot of beer and ice cream and sekt (local sparkling wine) and the two Mexican interns brought some tequila shot mixed drink they'd cooked up.
For me, one of the really endearing things about México and Mexicans is the warmth and happiness you get from them when you appreciate their country and culture. It feels to me that Germans take it for granted that everyone appreciates Germany, or should, with some understanding about hard feelings from France and the UK. If you like German culture, food, cars, etc, they seem to think, of course, why wouldn't you?
I think México has been undervalued for so long, it's almost embarrassing how excited Mexicans can get if you appreciate it for what it is.
Originally, we were going to catch a train to Munich Thursday morning since today was a holiday. Unfortunately, we realized too late that the cheap train tickets we'd planned on using were not valid on that day so we decided to scrub the trip. Plus we're going to go in early September anyway. We ended up taking S bahn to nearby suburb city village of Esslingen, which was pretty and charming and super close.
