At the beginning of March, I told you that I wanted to get to know my flat mates. Of course, I got to know them in the last two weeks and now I can tell you a bit about them so that you can imagine what life is like in our flat "community".

Four Russians moved in, two boys and two girls. Their names are really cliché-like: Vladi, Boris, Olga, and Vicky. Sometimes, I try to talk to them but it's not so easy because I don't speak a word Russian and they don't speak German. English seems to be the best conclusion although they hardly speak the language and I really have to slow me down and pantomime the things I say. However, the boys are nice and have already invited me for a grilled sallad. Quite an exotic but delicious experience. The girls are a bit more shy so I just got to know that all four Russians are from the same town next to the Ukrainian border and knew each other before they came here.

At least two German guys are staying with me. Alex is doing an internship at a big weekly newspaper, and Jan is doing a practical semester as accountant. They are always good for a conversation if I meet them in the kitchen. My direct neighbour must be a ghost: I have never seen him and he tends to be noisy at night. E.g., he obviously likes to move his furniture and watch movies at highest volume. Fortunately, I am used to noisy neighbours at my right sight from Solna (btw - how are you doin', Carles?). :D

I am sorry that I can't tell you anything about the other three inhabitants. Actually, I don't know more than their names and that they're male. Try to find out more.
