Lots to Do

Last week the Value Agreement was finally approved, which means that the company's Tranfers Services can come into action. Next week Tuesday we'll have a meeting where they will explain all the things we have to do. In the meantime the organization in Russia already requested me to come over once before Martins official start date, which will make it even more challenging to arrange everything. Marielle has now quit her job as a Spanish teacher and is getting ready to leave the Netherlands. In the meantime the contract for the apartment we selected is being drafted. Slowly things are starting to move faster...

Apartment Hunting

So last Friday and Saturday we have been apartment hunting. Never thought that could make you that tired. Friday we saw 9, Saturday 5. We have been able to select 2 that we want to offer for.
Today we walked to the Kremlin and the Red Square, through the old Arbat. Because it had been snowing a lot and the temperature was just a bit higher than 0 Celsius, it was really a big mess on the street with a grey, wet, icy, watery mix. The result was wet and dirty feet when finally arriving in front of the Basilius Cathedral. Bleeehhhhh :-(
