meet my flatmates

Yes, they really do exist! Please allow me to introduce meine wunderschöne Mitbewohner:

First up, we have Samuel. Samuel is one kerazy party-lovin' mofo (see picture above). On that particular evening, he instigated the dance action - grooving away by himself on the dancefloor until the rest of us swallowed our collective self-consciousness and followed suit. Samuel studies politics and sociology and helps to produce a political website called e-politik.de (check it out, y'all). At the moment he's organising a panel discussion at Humbolt Uni on the topic of 'free will'.

Next up is Marie (pictured left with aforementioned party monkey, Samuel). Marie is French (and is subsequently very petite and has a goregous accent) and is currently doing a Praktikum (internship) at an art gallery in Prenzlauer Berg. She's a 'top shelia', has a real cheeky sense of humour and is, like me, in love with Berlin.

Last but not least, there's Rolf. Rolf recently finished studying Business Management and now works at a giant gas and electricity conglomo in the centre of town. When not spending time with his Spanish beau, Laia (pictured above right), he enjoys boxing and just returned from a cycling holiday in Poland. Perhaps as a result of the boxing (and the subsequent expulsion of stress), he is the most chilled out, laid back, easy guy to live with.

The awesome foursome: Marie and I outside Bar 23, and Samuel and Rolf playing 'kicker' (or foooseball as we Aussies have decided to call it).
