Indy’s BLOG – Waiting for the keys….
In one hour, we will get our keys. WAITING!
Payment CHAOS!
Yesterday Vil received his FIRST REGULAR payment on his bank account and, YOU F***NG GUESS IT, something went wrong.
Vil got only HALF of his payment. He received a payslip from HR and there is his March payment he fought so hard for, marked as advance and deducted in April. WTF?! You might think. Now we have financial chaos all over.
Still missing money from Steigenberger directly, then the payment for the Steigenberger room from the relocation company and at last the March “advance” payment they deducted in April.
Hey guys, …. slowly it gets really funny.
Our own keys. 11:00 tomorrow morning.
We live in Amsterdam now for six weeks and we already moved three times and tomorrow we will move again to our new place in Amsterdam. We really hope that this will be the last time we need to move for a long time. Around 11:00 tomorrow morning we will get the keys. The flat is really nice and Dutch. It’s very near to Vondel and Rembrandt Park, plenty of space to run, meet other dogs and enjoy the time in Amsterdam. BBQ! 🙂
Indy’s BLOG – Finally a real home! Really?
Vil just got a message from his new landlord.
YES, you read correct. HIS NEW LANDLORD! 🙂
He accept Vil’s offer and we can move in next days.
Geert, you rule. We wish you all the best adventures on your trip. A safe road under your tires, always shelter when it rains and wonderful moments. Have the time of your life.
House Viewing!…. Vil’s Odyssey!
For 500 Euros you get around 10 square meters space. Ok, there was a balcony, but also loud music from the neighbors. Also an ages old, stained, stinky mattress (buah!), no desk or wardrobe, but dirt everywhere. A dirty kitchen with no space in the fridge and the cherry on the top, a drunk landlady, too wasted to get up or answer the phone. Seriously. 1830 and there where three empty bottles on the table and a fourth open one. Happy days…..
Ok, price wise 500 Euro is a steal for Amsterdam, but we decided not to go for the cheapest, most crappy option, because we had that already in Barcelona and it suxx.
This is what we found in the internet and might get for a reasonable price in Jan Pieter Heijestraat.
The owner, Geert, is a really cool dude, he is genuine and travelling the world. In the moment he is somewhere in Peru, we had a short chat via Skype and he is a really open and friendly person.
Surely, Vil checked him on Facebook and LinkedIN, he is most likely legit and no Western Union scam.
Hey Geert, you checked Vil and we checked you. There is plenty of scam in this word and there is nothing wrong to be cautious. 🙂 You will be happy to have us as tenants. Thank you for considering <-UpdateSpoiler! 🙂 trusting us.
Tomorrow we will know if Geert likes us as tenants ……!
Steigenberger, AGAIN!
Wow,
yesterday the lock on Vil’s credit card was finally released and the money came back to Vil’s account, but unfortunately, Steigenberger took another 480 Euro on whatever reason at the same time and somehow exceeded the maximum usage limit of Vil’s credit card, so we are still broke.
WTF?
Steigenberger….. Don’t you have your papers in order?
Steigenberger? The story continues!
The last days Vil exchanged several emails with the Steigenberger Airport Hotel in Amsterdam and in the end nothing changed. The money is still somewhere in the digital space, but not on Vil’s account and aditionally there are bookings in Vil’s side which has no counterpart in the Steigenberger system.
Still broke…
What was that? Excuse me please!?
Sometimes life is like cinema, surreal and unpredictable. Today was one of these days, which confuses us more then we understand.
Vil went to work and the site leader introduced him to a colleague Vil never met before. He said that Vil might want to talk to her.
Vil went to a conference booth with her and she introduced herself ask a colleague from the other floor and that she was informed by the site leader that there is an ‘issue’ with the relocation. She claims that she already helped many by lending money for the deposit and that she offers her services to Vil.
Vil didn’t understood, he was confused and asked why she does that and what the conditions are. He apologized, but right now he couldn’t believe that this happens now.
Then something strange happened. She immediately revoked her offer. Vil didn’t understand again. Is that a game to humiliate him even more?
No idea why, but we think it’s legit to ask for someones intentions before accepting an offer.
Awkward, but more sad that hit Vil somehow and he has stomach problems now.
VomitBark
Steigenberger? NEVER AGAIN!
Well, you might think that a hotel like the Steigenberger Airport Hotel in Amsterdam has its procedures in place and that you can enjoy hospitality and good food there. Well, actually the food is very good and tasty, the bed is ok as well, even free fresh fruit everywhere, BUT… (…you remember, there’s always a BUT with us!): WHY THE FUCK WE NEED TO PAY 1.200 EURO? Well, we didn’t need to pay 1.200 Euro for the room, BUT (… again a BUT!) you maxed out Vil’s credit card, despite the fact that Vil told you that his company will pay.
You charged Vil around 640 Euro “security deposit” you never returned (we are still waiting) AND you billed him another 500 Euro for the room itself, because you f***cked up when “unlock” the card.
Last weekend was Easter Weekend and thanks to you we saved a lot of money on drinks, party and food, because we had none! 🙂
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrowl!
