It seems like Canada is the biggest waste of space on the planet.
Space is definitely not a hot commodity here.
See, the thing is, I’ve been thinking of downgrading my flat in Krautland. I mean, I guess my situation isn’t completely dire, seeing as I’ve been able to pay my rent without a problem to this point, but I often find myself wandering around, wondering why I put so much space to waste.
I mean, why pay for 500 square feet if I don’t need it for anything?
I suppose I could buy more furniture, but that would turn into an issue if I do choose to downgrade to something two-thirds the size.
But really, I’m not here to discuss flat-hunting and moving woes.
There are a lot of things about Canada I seem to have forgotten while I was gone, among which is the fact people romp around with so much space.
I mean, I had a good 800 square feet last time I lived in Calgary, and everyone was consoling me for having such a small apartment. Oh, if they knew I was looking to downgrade to 350 or so…
But people here (with real jobs that pay more than a credit union does) have real space. I mean, my mom’s garage is bigger than my entire apartment now. I’m looking for flats that rival the size of my dad’s bedroom. Without the added bath.
People here just waste, waste, waste with their space. I mean, I’m all for having five and a half baths if you’ve got a houseful of stinky teenagers, but is it really necessary to have such a big house you have to complete a marathon to get from the couch to the kitchen?
It’s a wonder Canadians have an obesity problem, needing to run around their giant houses as they do.
It’s also a wonder that I’ve become such a Kraut about these sorts of things.
