Moving in

During February, we lived in a furnished small flat rented by the company in central Zurich. It was ok and we got to know the city a little bit, but it was too small for our family and not very convenient on the top floor.

We could finally move in to our final apartment in Adliswil late February. We agreed to start at 9, they were looking after us already 8.30. They were really quick, and left right after noon. But all our stuff was there, furniture assembled - the only thing was we did not have a lot of storage space to unpack many boxes. When Lola saw her bed, she started laughing. Noemi climbed onto her bed immediately and started being sleepy.

To celebrate that everything went so quickly, we went to the local Ikea. Amazingly, the prices are lower than in Hungary in many cases (could be the Hungarian VAT?), the only problematic spot is to get everything home. We decided to rent a van - the kids really enjoyed sitting in the front row (hope that police does not read this). I had to move more than 500kg stuff myself, but I did it. The only thing left was to assemble everything - but that was the story of the week after that. Just one thing - we now have more than 10 of those tiny bent metal tools Ikea gave to drive the screws :)

Yet another amazing thing is that the next day after we moved in, we already got the package for the net and digital tv - 2 days after the move everything was working! I think this is amazing. We even have 1 Hungarian language channel.
