If you want, I can get you in touch with my cousin Julie (a nice happy mutant). Since I've never gone to Germany at all and she's spending a year in Munich going all over the place in her spare time, she'll be able to help whereas I'm useless. Want me to email both of you?
Sorry I didn't get to this sooner-- thanks for the offer, but-- as noted below-- I think I'll be offline for most of my time in the Netherlands which would only lead to that sort of awkward, halting email conversation which is really only an amped-up version of my awkward, halting real life conversation.
I'm doing well! Done with schoolwork (sort of, I have an incomplete from the Fall I need to deal with; whatevs) and heading away for the summer in four days!
I've emailed my childhood friend, now expat, who's living there - will let you know if he answers in time. I wasn't there long enough to figure out the lay of the land even had it not been nearly ten years ago (argh)
However, he then goes on to offer to chat with you via email about some other possible options, if you wouldn't be shy about writing him. Email me at k_navit@livejournal.com if you want his email addy.
Cool-- thanks so much! I think I'm going to be off internet for most of my travels (leaving for the airport at 4am tomorrow, ugh), but if it turns out different I'll drop you a line.

"Here's a link to a hostel not too far from here, a nice central location. I used to hang with the owner years ago...I didn't check for availability."
