Germans love doors apparently. I'm writing this as I thought about how absurd it was that I walked through 5 doors to get to the toilet at work. Of course some of these are obvious, but I walked through the door of my work room, then through a threshold (maybe a fire door?), through the bathroom door, then through the women's bathroom door, then the stall door. Is that all necessary? More strange than that are the typical apartment floor plans. We've been apartment hunting lately and that whole open concept only exists in brand new construction here (sometimes). We just saw a beautiful 1890's building flat last night, yes I've taken to the European terminology. Besides all of the amazing details like ornate crown molding and 20 foot ceilings, every single room had a door. You enter the flat to a hallway and there is a door to the living room, a door to the bedroom, a door to the dining room, a door to the kitchen. Kitchens have doors!!! Super strange.
