Settling in
Here I am, connected again. It all takes a little longer than expected. No internet cafes in the immediate vicinity but a lot of nice coffee shops with "Kuchen" (cakes).
The past couple of weeks were spent running to IKEA and the German version of Home Depot to buy closets and tools to put everything together. In our move, B's rechargeable drill disappeared.
Other items that fell victim to the transatlantic voyage - a glass end table and our kitchen trash can. We are a bit mad about the glass table because we had told the movers that it needed crating just like the glass coffee table at the time they were packing everything up in the US. They just wrapped the end table in cardboard. Oddly enough, it did arrive crated but a corner was chipped. Here is what we think happened: the movers dropped it and then crated it. Our metal trash can looked completely dented as though someone practiced for a soccer tournament with it.
Oh well, we'll fill out the claim forms and hopefully get some nice new stuff for it. We still have to buy light fixtures, a couch and a dining room table.
