I know it's been quite some time but I've also been quite busy. Not just did I get used to midnight sun, no, I also managed to get all the governmental stuff done, as well as taking part in my first development sprint and getting an icelandic mobile phone number.
The only really annoying thing at the moment, as I experienced it today once again, is the search for a decent apartment. I did finally manage to take a look at one (!) apartment that seemed to be quite decent from the advert but was a real let-down when I visited it. The stove was totally dirty - basically burned in dirt wherever something could burn in - and it's suffered some damage on the opening door. Then the bathroom ... eeeew ... no, that was not so clean either (mould anyone?). After talking to the landlord she was of the opinion that it would just be a matter of cleaning properly, and that obviously damaged stove would still be working fine. But I could of course get a renewed bathroom as well as a new stove if I would pay for it ... no, thanks.
Apart from that one apartment it's been business as usual. You call a landlord, they answer "sorry, just rented out again". Seriously, one day after you offer an apartment it gets rented out again? And for those ads that have been there for a longer time: Why not take them off again once the flat is rented out? Annoying. But the story continues.
So, what else is going on at the moment, apart from work and apartment search? Not too much, I'm afraid. Been out to some pubs and clubs, met some people, but nothing special right there. And I highly doubt that there'll be anything special coming up until I get a flat. Sigh.
Oh right, I started looking for a digicam, so in the near future there might some nice photos appear on this website.
So long!
