Die Kaserne... 5 years later

4 Comments

One of the best experience I ever had in my life was my participation at the Erasmus Project in 2002.

I spent one year (two semesters) in Munich, Germany, since german is the only foreign language I learned at school.

I met a lot of interesting people, had great parties, wonderful time, interesting point of view and even more interesting activities: sometime I lost myself but I was definitely worth!

During my stay in Munich, I had a room (Zimmer) in a Student House in a great neighbourhood of the city (Schwabing West): the building was named "Stetter Kaserne" and was a former Barracks for US Soldiers.

I always took my stay in the Kaserne with humour since...there was definitely nothing to laugh. :)

The building was gray and quite depressive

and I can tell the same about the rooms. The only good thing was that the rooms were quite big and so I spent a lot of time customizing mine (1 2 3 4 5) :)

Anyway, last week I came back to Munich to visit Micha, a friend of mine with whom I lived in this Kaserne... and guess what??

This is the new Kaserne!!

Definitely a lot cooler than before! I read a couple of papers on the dashboard and found out they have also wireless internet connection... for free!

I had to use a 35m ethernet cable from a room to another at the exterior side of the building... and the Hausmeister threathened me saying that with my cable was responsible for fire danger for the entire building.

BTW, CAT-5 cables are fire-proof. :)
