Cultural Difference No.269

source
There are many differences I've learned to live with since moving to Germany. The one that's currently ruling our lives is that Germans paint rented properties when they move out. It can be the difference between getting a deposit back or not and after our previous experiences, we don't want to risk it.

So it's a week of putting all that practice at the house to good use and getting our flat up to scratch.

It's funny - I remember learning about this German trait in sixth form and never thinking it would apply to me! Anyway, by the end of the week I'll be pouring a large G&T and planning never to hold a paintbrush again. It was worth buying a house just to know we won't have to paint next time!
