7:45 카지노 게임 컬렉션 I wake up, check the weather, which I find to be notoriously unpredictable. Two weeks ago, we were suffering from a massive heatwave (AC basically doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t exist in Germany) and today it is a high of about 68Β°F (20Β°C). I look around for my jacket which I haven카지노 게임 컬렉션t touched in a few weeks. I guess there won카지노 게임 컬렉션t be any trips to the river or a public pool this weekend. I live only a 5-minute walk from the Isar (the river that runs through Munich), so I love spending an afternoon or evening having a picnic by the water and jumping in when it카지노 게임 컬렉션s hot. The water is so clean, though it is also freezing cold (by my standards) since it comes down from the alps.
8:30 카지노 게임 컬렉션 I grab leftovers from the fridge and head off to catch the subway. I only live five subway stations from my work, but after I get off the subway I have a 1k walk, otherwise, I have to switch at a very crowded station in order to get closer to work. I prefer the chance to get some fresh air and stretch my legs before sitting at a desk for eight hours. Although the subway is fairly crowded, with a book on my phone it카지노 게임 컬렉션s not a bad commute, and so much cheaper than having a car. I actually haven카지노 게임 컬렉션t even had my license transferred from the US, as there is so rarely a situation where I would want to drive.
9:00 카지노 게임 컬렉션 I arrive at work, grab a coffee, and have my breakfast at my desk. I am not sure how common this is at other offices, but a lot of people have yogurt or a pastry once they get to work at 카지노게임사이트. In fact, on Monday카지노 게임 컬렉션s we have a bunch of free pastries and bread provided in our common room.
13:00 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Lunchtime is somewhat flexible, but most of the team eats between 13:00카지노 게임 컬렉션14:00. If the weather was nicer, I would ask a colleague to go on a walk but today I eat leftovers at my desk. In many larger companies, there is a cantine, or cafeteria where you can eat, but our company is too small for that kind of perk. Thankfully our office is located very centrally, so it카지노 게임 컬렉션s easy to get almost any type of food you want nearby. Prices vary a lot from a 3 EUR sandwich at Subway to a nice business lunch for around 20 EUR. One thing that I really miss from the US though is going to a grocery store and having lots of fair-priced items that are freshly prepared there. In the past six months a few grocery stores have started offering more options, but it is nothing like it is in the USA or even the UK. Because of this, I try to be healthier and save money by either eating dinner leftovers or making a salad at work. Groceries are very affordable here compared to back home, especially if you go to one of the discount stores (Lidl, Aldi, Penny etc카지노 게임 컬렉션¦). Oftentimes I can get ingredients for two to three big salads for under 7 EUR.
14:00 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Back to work! I only worked in the US as a full-time employee for a year, and that was quite a while ago, but I can say that I certainly prefer the work-life balance here in Germany. I work full-time (40 hours/week), but with 28 days of vacation, and many public holidays, I still feel as though I have a life outside of my career.
15:30 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Coffee break. I카지노 게임 컬렉션m all about that afternoon pick-me-up, and Germans, like many nationalities, love their coffee! Back in the US I drank mostly just filter coffee (often from a Kcup machine), but filter coffee is not very common here, so I drink mostly lattes or cappuccinos. Shortly after, a colleague and I do a few yoga stretches in the middle of our office as it카지노 게임 컬렉션s quiet today and we카지노 게임 컬렉션re both feeling a bit tense.
18:20 카지노 게임 컬렉션 I gather my stuff and head out to meet a group of friends. On the way there, I stop at a Biomarkt (aka organic store), which is much pricier than my normal grocery trips, but I want to get some nice wine and dessert to bring. Finding affordable and tasty wine is easy in Germany, but the bakery is out of any whole cakes as stores close at 20:00 카지노 게임 컬렉션 so some nice chocolate bars will have to suffice (oh how I miss the dessert section of Whole Foods). Shopping complete, I head off to see my group of old and new friends. There is six of us who try to meet somewhat regularly for a MΓ€delsabend (girls카지노 게임 컬렉션 night). One of them is one of my German besties, who is usually kind enough to host us at her beautiful apartment (finding an apartment like hers is like winning the real estate lottery, it is so difficult to find good rentals here, especially if you aren카지노 게임 컬렉션t searching as a DINK카지노 게임 컬렉션 dual income no kids). Another is one of my American best friends. And the rest of the group is German. I love this group because it forces me to practice my German listening skills as we switch between English and Deutsch, and they카지노 게임 컬렉션re all just a blast! My American friend and I are both struggling with German, and I카지노 게임 컬렉션m always amazed at how my German friends switch effortlessly between the two languages.
19:00 카지노 게임 컬렉션 I arrive at my friend카지노 게임 컬렉션s place, hugs all around, and we immediately open up the wine and pour ourselves an Aperol Spritz to start. Back home, I would have limited myself to maybe a glass and a half over several hours, but one great thing about living in a European city is that public transportation a) exists, b) is affordable, and c) is safe. So, I never have to worry about driving after drinking. We haven카지노 게임 컬렉션t gotten together in a while, so there is lots to catch up on.
23:30 카지노 게임 컬렉션 We say our goodbyes and I walk five minutes to the nearest subway to catch my train home. I live about 25 minutes to the south, but on the same subway line, so it카지노 게임 컬렉션s super easy! Ending at 23:30 is actually early for us, which is another thing I love about my social life here. In the US, I can카지노 게임 컬렉션t imagine staying out until midnight on a weekday unless it was a special occasion, it just wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t done 카지노 게임 컬렉션 granted, I lived in Raleigh, and not in a city like New York or San Francisco, where I am sure people do. When I worked in Raleigh, 22:30 would be the latest I would stay out, as all of my friends would want to head home by then. I카지노 게임 컬렉션m someone who loves sleep, but I also really appreciate socializing, and if we all make the effort to get together, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s nice that we all have 5+ hours to catch up instead of just eating and leaving.
Midnight 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Back home, I open the windows to let some fresh air in (how German of me) and water the one plant I am trying to keep alive (so far it is like a cat with nine lives). I put away laundry that was drying 카지노 게임 컬렉션 dryers aren카지노 게임 컬렉션t very common here when you카지노 게임 컬렉션re renting an older apartment 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and hop into bed!
