Where do you live? What do you do?

Travis and I live in a house. Our landlord and his daughter live on the first floor. Our roomate, Annegret, lives on the second floor and we live on the third floor. Our roomate and us share a bathroom and a kitchen. Our house is located in Gartenstadt, close to Schwimmhalle and Stadion.


We live where it says "West" in Gartenstadt



I work as an English teacher at a language school called Berlitz. It's located on Kropeliner Strasse, the main street in this city. I am a freelancer and teach different levels of English classes. I really enjoy working here because everyone is so nice.

Lichtwoche (Light week)

The city of Rostock always has this light week where they have a bunch of lights and shows for the people. It gets dark pretty early here (like around 4:30pm) so I guess this is their way of having something to do once it gets dark. I really like it because I can just get off work and wonder around, drink some Gluhwein and eat a Bratwurst.

This is how they light up the buildings in the center of the city



                                           
And these are some street performers they brought all the way from Berlin
