Indy’s BLOG – GAME OVER?!

Leave a reply

It was a long journey, one year more or less on the road, living in shitty places, always searching for a job, living with very little money and food, but finally Vil found a very good and extremely well payed job for a software company.

We already relocated to Amsterdam and Vil started working, he likes it, it seem to be a really good job, BUT…. this fucking BUT! The company would reimburse travel, expenses, literally everything, BUT Vil walks every morning to work. He could take the tram and would need ten minutes to work, BUT he walks thirty minutes, because he has no money to pay the tram.

We can’t use any of the agreed perks, because we are totally broke! Yes, end of April payroll Vil will be rich, BUT we need to survive until then……

BARK! All for nothing? What do we do?

GAME OVER?

Indy’s BLOG – Second apartment tour!

Leave a reply

Today Vil viewed five apartments, the first one was nice, but unfurnished, the second had too steep stairs I couldn’t walk, the third was just awful, the fourth was nice but a bit too expensive and the last one will maybe our new place. He placed an offer and now we need to wait for the response of the landlord. 1.425 Euro for a ground floor apartment with around 45 square meters. BOAH, that’s serious money!

Indy’s BLOG – No Payment, No Relocation Number, NOTHING!

Leave a reply

Outch! Today was the day of truth and Vil needed to learn that he might misunderstood the relocation agreement. He was under the impression that the relocation budget covers all expenses for flat search and renting, but unfortunately neither the deposit is covered nor there will be any advance payment to cover this expenses.

He was already informed that he won’t get paid at the end of the month, because he joined the company at the 15th and Payroll closes at the 14th of the month, so he need to wait until end of next month to get any payment.

FUCK Bark, we are so screwed.

Indy’s BLOG – Guest House Amsterdam

Leave a reply

They put us in a wonderful, high standard, totally overpriced guest house, but we need to buy the toilet paper ourselves. The cutlery, plates and cups are the cheapest IKEA one and the ONE pot, the ONE pan are even cheaper supermarket stuff. Fully service is something different.

And they paid an unbelievable 150.- Euro a day to the rental agency.

In a retrospective it was completely nonsense to put us in such a house. We didn’t wanted that and the relocation agency was aware of it. We explicitly asked for a small place with dog, nothing else. Come on, we slept the last weeks on the floor of a Yoga Studio. We don’t need that…. We need food, money for the ticket and medicine.

Indy’s BLOG – A nice trip and finally we arrived

Leave a reply

This morning at 06:30 we woke up, arranged ourselves, cleared our stuff and went to the train to go to the airport. No coffee with Teresa and no walk with Jack. Sooooo, sad! All our life fits in three boxes and we are on the move.

First good thing for today: Vil just needed one journey on his T-10 ticket to go from Badalona to Barcelona Airport. The whole journey was only ONE journey in my T-10 ticket, priced 99,5 Cent. 🙂

We arrived at the airport and there was a huge queue at the KLM check in counter. Vil wondered where to drop me and went directly to the lady from priority boarding, asking for help where to drop me and she told Vil, that she would be happy to check us in. Second good thing for today: “Now we are priority. Thank you nice lady from KLM!” We don’t need to need to wait in the queue.

Brilliant. We saved around one hour standing and plenty of stress for me and the luck for our journey didn’t finished yet!

There’s more to come….. 

The nice lady did all the paperwork and after thirty minutes it was time to say “Goodbye to Vil!”, but not before he drugged me with the herbal medicine he bought at the Vet, more about that later.

And there is another good thing for today:

Vil got priority boarding in the plane as well.

Plenty of legroom for him! Sweet!

I needed to travel in my box. It was a bit scary, cold and loud, but all no problem, because Vil got some herbs from the vet for me.

“The medicine worked quite well and I traveled 15 kilometers high to Amsterdam!” – Indy

We took a taxi and finally arrived in our new home in Amsterdam.

There I made already some friends in the shop under our flat and (good thing number three) Vil got a free coffee from Nike, the nice lady at the counter.

We feel really welcome.

Thank you.

Good thing number four: “THE FLAT IS AWESOME!”

I am only five years old, but I already lived three countries. I was born in France, then we moved to Germany for a few weeks, now we have been a year Spain and next week I will add the Netherlands to my list.

Hmmm, I need to learn to bark Dutch and that’s a real challenge because they have sounds, I don’t know. Chhhrrrrhhhhhzz… That is just fantastic. How should I bark at the Dutch boys?

How is it to live in Holland? Naja, for the beginning we are sorted. Please see our fucking amazing temporary home in Amsterdam. For the next thirty days, we open our door to all our friends. If you are in Amsterdam, please feel free to visit us.
