Lately in AMSTERDAMZZ

 Hey peeps!

On Wednesday, we decided to just take it easy peasy at home. To be honest, my brain has been on some must-fix-everything-find-a-flat-explore-the-city mode so, it was great to just have a chill day. 

My lunches are usually take away meals from Albert Heijn, which I really don't mind because they are surprisingly nice and not too pricey! Paid for this 5,5? 

Me myself and I xD

Oh, minor detail! WE GOT A FLAT!!! More on that in a later blog post... ;) *Insert cliff-hanger*
So we are already searching all marketplaces for stuff, as it will be an unfurnished one, which is great because alot of flats have veeery questionable furniture. Bad thing is we need EVERYTHING. 

We are meeting the owners tomorrow (in a bar, at 9pm - can only mean that they are either supercool or I should be worried).

On Thursday, I went for another flat viewing (this was before we got the flat) which was in the Museum quarters. Amazing old money neighbourhood and the real estate agent was like a Dutch Michael Caine (<3) In the end, we didnt even offer because the rent was a bit too much. 

I also went to my new office to take pictures to their website! I met some new people - I am so stoked to start! To be honest, I feel like I could start tomorrow. I think the fact that I am still doing my old job, yet moved to a new country, is somehow fucking with my brain a bit. It's like I am half in Budapest and half here. 

In the evening, we took the bus to Antonia/Dom palace in Haarlem. Finally, I got to see their amazing apartment. We had some delicious food and fun times. 

I am especially jealous of their terrace!! 

On Friday, I had another viewing. By this point, the real estate agents are reoccurring characters in my life. The location was great, and we made an offer but got rejected. 

The thing here is that you need to overbid on flats - the agent told us that once a flat that was 2000 euros monthly, someone overbid it for 2600 monthly 🤪🤪🤪 Kinda hard to compete with that kind of money. 

Also very proud of Mark who survived his first workweek!!! He promised he will appear as a guest writer soon so you can hear his side of the story hehe.

I'm sick since yesterday :( Little fever and some weird stomach pain. I really hope it goes over soon.
 
Anyways!! There are plenty of weekends in Amsterdam still...
