A look at Erfurt

Here's a few buildings in Erfurt. It's an interesting city. Lots of old beautiful buildings, new beautiful buildings and old abandoned buildings. The contrast is stark. It shows the kinds of hardships that people in Eastern Germany are facing but also the amount of potential the city has. Construction and renovation is everywhere in the city as well. Which is a good sign. Also I included a picture of the a socialist demonstration by the local leftists. Interesting to watch their demonstration though I didn't understand all of what was said.









My apartment building. Pretty nice. I haven't taken pictures of the inside of my apartment but I will. It is pretty nice too. The neighborhood I live in is in a great location. I live a block away from the Hauptbahnhof (or main train station), so missing a train is never a question. I live minutes from the main plazas in the city, Anger (pronounced Ong-err), Fischmarkt (which means Fish market) and the Domplatz where the cathedral is. I also have three Doner Kebap stands two minutes from my apartment. Explaing what a doner is a post in itself at a later time. But it is something you're only going to get in Germany.
