First day

A lot happened on Friday too. I went to the office to meet up people. It is about a 15 min walk from the apartment on the other side of the railway tracks. I got my laptop, I was shown around in the office. It was much like in Office Space :) Cubicles... People were really nice. I learned that I don't have to wear fancy clothes. Only rule is not to wear shorts. The office was basically empty. People were at customers and it was rather early (9:30am). I was told that many come in around 10:30. That was also good news.

In the meantime my wife unpacked our suitcases so the apartment now looks more or less as a home :) She discovered that the sink and the dishwasher is leaking. Apartment maintenance came to check things out. Monday we get a new dishwasher and the sink was fixed. Forgot to mention that the latch on the balcony door in the bedroom was broken too. On Monday we have to tell them that as well.

We checked out the pool and the "gym". The pool is great, but the gym basically nothing else but a treadmill, a fitness bike and an ellipse trainer. I will have to look for a gym membership...

My colleagues came by later to bring the stuff I requested and to bring us to open a bank account.
