A major difference between the average German apartment and the
average American one is that German apartments often have no closets.
I don't mean that the closets are really small; I mean that they
literally aren't there at all. Instead, clothing is usually hung in a
piece of furniture called a "Schrank," which is similar to the
wardrobe in C.S. Lewis' book. My German apartment, as you may has
guessed, has no closets, and, until recently, it also did not had a
Schrank. I simply stacked my clothes neatly on the floor. I'm only
staying here for a year, so buying a big piece of furniture didn't
really make sense. Yesterday, however, I made my first trip to
Mannheim's Walmart and purchased the prefect solution. It's
essentially a piece of blue tarp pulled over some hollow metal poles,
but it does the job, and it makes me happy.
