Ahhh. Things are going very well here. I spent the first night in my new apartment. To get an idea of how this felt, first you have to understand that I signed the lease for this apartment before ever having physically seen it. Back in July, twenty-seven pictures were sent to me from HR in Denmark and from those pictures I made my decision. So for the past 2 months I have been studying those photos, dissecting every detail and corner to get a feel for my new living quarters. Yesterday, while I was lying on a mattress pad on the floor tucked under some blankets in this big (and very empty!) apartment I couldn't help but feel like I was stepping into a dream. It was all very surreal - imagine the feeling you would get if you stepped into your own pictures. This new pad of mine is by far the best living arrangement I have ever had. For starters it's huge - a one bedroom apartment with a living/dining area the size of my old studio. It's on the third floor of the building looking over shops and cafes. There are vaulted ceilings with skylights which makes the place very bright (when there's daylight, that is). Everything is brand new - a well equipped kitchen with a dish washing machine and a washer/dryer combo in the bathroom. I found myself thinking, am I really here? What did I do to deserve this? It really is an amazing place (ahem... have I enticed you enough to come visit?)Now all I need is: lights, a bed, furniture, kitchen supplies, groceries, Internet connection, and all my stuff that still hasn't shipped from the States (which includes my bike). Ha! Ok, so it's going to take me a while to feel settled, but I am definetely off to a good start.
