Our very own dungeon

The one part of the new apartment that I didn't show everyone was the dungeon cellar. It's basically a storage space, and it's where we're supposed to leave our bicycles. So far in ours there's only my bike and the door to the kitchen (soon to be joined by the door to the living room - Germans love their doors, as Jeremi's German teacher explained to him). As you can see, it's really quite a big room, with a little window to the outdoors even. What more could one ask in a guest bedroom? (Just kidding.) And below you can see the charming doorway, and the little alcove that gives it "character".
And now with the door closed, and the true dungeon-like characteristics are apparant.
And of course ours isn't the only little dungeon in the basement. Each unit has a private one, plus there are a few larger common spaces. It's really too bad that people don't celebrate Hallowe'en more here, because I can't think of a better place for throwing a huge Hallowe'en party. Of course the doorways are a little low for some people, but then you wouldn't need any fake blood to complete the costume!
