Bienvenue a Luxembourg

So yesterday i finally moved to Luxembourg. I immediately got the chance to get acquainted with the siesta style break time of things, since the accommodation office is shut between 12noon and 1.30pm. Since we arrived about 5 minutes past noon, we got to wait the entire break and by the times I moved into my room it was 3pm. That day I didn't do much more than unpacking. That evening I immediately had a meeting with someone from the place where I'm going to be teaching zumba. It's a bit different than I expected but there is good hope. By some big coincident the boyfriend of the other zumba instructor turns out to be one of my professors (you could also blame the size of the city for this..), so that was pretty cool.

Next day the real work started. I can honestly say I did a lot.

• I met up with my old flatmate from Leeds for Lunch and he helped me find some of the important places
• I managed to take the bus from my house to town (wuhay for having a bus card) and walk back
• I found out there are lots of dutch stores here. There is even a Hema that sells all kinds of Sinterklaas food, whoohoo!  
• I manged to tell the cleaning lady my room number wrong in French. I obviously needs a LOT of practice. So from there on out we started talking in German. I can only say that I will need the German language course I am going to sign up for. 

I got myself:

• registered as a resident of Luxembourg City 
• A new bank account
• A Luxembourgish phone number
• A library card
• A German book about summer love that is probably meant for a 12 year old
• A French book about pirates for 9 years and older
• A French book about magic cats in the dance school (7+ )    
• An application form for some French version of Burger King, clearly aiming for the stars here...

Tomorrow there will be more exploring. And also some zumba-ing!

XOXO

FYI: The start is were I live and these are the countries surrounding me. I will probably be in either of those in less than half an hour by car. So yes, it is possible to live in a smaller country than my own. 

This lovely view lies in between my house and the city center. It looks like a great place to go for a run!
