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!”

Indy’s BLOG – Bye Ana, see you soon!

Leave a reply

Today we met our dear friend Ana and like real tourists we had, we had a pizza and coffee at Sagrada Familia. It’s time to say goodbye to Ana. In Spain, we found a few friends in Spain and she is definitively one of them.

My dearest Ana,

You are a good friend and we are happy meeting you. You did more for us anyone can ever expect to do for a complete stranger. You have a big heart and I will never forget that you arranged the dog hotel, when Vil needed to go to the hospital. You gave us support and sometimes Vil a shower.

It was a real pleasure meeting you, walking through Barcelona, talking, laughing and having really nice food.

Ever your Indy
