Gaggenau
We drove to Stuttgart to search for a flat. Wasn't easy - a foreigner and a citizen of the former East Germany in the rich South - ;D but we got lucky and found a wonderful apartment from landlords who are crazy about Finland. Maybe that had something to ...

"Please tell me you're not on your way to Germany"
