You guys have disappeared lately but I hope everything is going ok for both of you. I'm on skype this evening, hoping if anyone shows up.
I'm not sure if you read my comment or not but I'm telling you again anyway that I've been looking for places to live but I could only find one apartment with 2 bedrooms. All the others from the site which Gábor offered are mostly 1-bedroom studios. But I keep on looking. If you find something, feel free to contact me.
I'm also looking for jobs, and in my opinion it will be easy to find work in Amsterdam. I already sent some e-mailt to families who were looking for live-out au-pairs. I think it would be a great start to have something even if it's only for 2-4 hours a day until I find some proper job. I found a tour guide job, sent them my CV (you know what that means).
There's a site http://www.expatriates.com/classifieds/netherlands/jobs/ . I can only recommend it to you Leho, if you're coming. There are new offered jobs every day. For instance today they were looking for housekeepers, but they need the holland papers which I haven't had yet. But once I have them...
I've been visiting pages (will I ever know what's the difference between site and page??) which show what documents are needed in the Netherlands to work. I've been making draughts so I'll know what to do from Day 1. I'm planing to collect the names of the hotels, bars, restaurants with addresses in Haarlem and Amsterdam to hand them my CV.
So as you may see, I'm not planning to live on Gábor and his nice offer (that might've sounded bootlicking a little bit:) but I'm really taking this seriously for the sake of my cloudy but hopefully amazing future.
Ok that might be a little bit too much, but you get it now :)
Other news about my life...let me think....Oh I got one. I've finished Harry Potter. I know I wrote bout it like a month ago, but I only read the first chapter then and I did the others only last week and finished it yesterday. I'm interested in other books now. I have aprx 6 books waiting for me on my desk. Unfortunatly only one of them is in English, I hope I'll like it as I had to borrow it from the library of my little town. Its title is 80 days around the world, I'm sure you know it.
I'm reading a book called the Diary of Nürnberg (I've just found out that the title according to amazon is Nurenberg Diary. I don't really get the "Nurenberg" thing). So it's about the trial in Nurnberg in 1945-46 and the thoughts of the nazi leaders. It's shocking but very interesting to see what they thought about all the cruel things they did.
I have a new book about Law of Attrection, it helps me a lot to stay optimistic, and become happier every day.
I'm a little sentimental today...
Ok fellows, I think that's it for me.
Hope to hear from you very soon and see you in a little while!
Mira
hi there,
ReplyDeletenice post Mira, it was hearteningly optimistic, even I was moved: by the time I got to the picture I could almost hear the tune of Lion King 2... :)
I am glad you are OK, and do hope that the dreams/plans come true. Recently I also spent an awful lot of time just thinking how all those could be arranged, gathering my thoughts how I could help, where we could live, etc. As it would be good to know what you guys expect and what you can afford, it would be a good idea indeed to talk or at least i could write a long-long mail detailing how i see all this and you could comment on that...but not now, sorry.
However, before this happens you could also think of ways to improve your chances: e.g. Mira, the Hungarian guys in that coffeeshop may know about vacancies in bars, etc - you could ask them if they do! And Leho, you could do the same with the Latvian guy - you know the one we met with Margus, I think he was his ex-classmate or something.
I will also ask around and hopefully we will have something soon.
but sorry guys, I am off now, I have to sleep, but i am contacting you soon! I know Mira is available most of the times, but what about you, Leho? How is it going?
Nope, I haven't dissapeared anywhere. My life in recent days is like turmoil. There is so much good but at the same time some things are depressing me a lot. My mood is rising and falling faster than ever before.
ReplyDeleteYou are never in Skype/MSN/facebook when I am. I don't understand. :D
Mira, what is wrong with one bedroom for all of us? ;) Oh yeah, u are snoring. :)
You are doing nice research! Good girl!
If this "80 days around the world" is from Jules Verne (great writer!) then I've read this book. Long time ago and in english but still. Back in the day I read all Vernes book what were released in estonian, he have good books.
I try to make a blog post too!
