Okayyyy finally! I've landed in Paris and will probably be typing a bit more.
I the past few months have been a real rush. Packing, packing, getting the Visa ready, packing, selling the car, more packing... meeting friends for farewells.
And finally I'm here in Paris. I landed yesterday. Both of us got biz class flights which was a lucky thing cos her company allowed us biz class flights on our trip to Paris and our final trip back after the stint.
Yesterday was also a rush after we landed. We went to check into our rental flat. Checked the place, went to set up internet, mobile line, went to supermarket to buy some groceries, bought a transport pass, etc... lots of admin stuff to do.
Had a rushed dinner which was kinda miserable cos the food was cold...
Luckily the rented place is fully furnished. Almost everything is provided. Bed, table, sofa, pots, pans, plates, cups, washing machine... it's pretty cool... some of the stuff need cleaning but it's good enough cos I don't have to spend the next 2 weeks trying to furnish my place...
The place is kinda small though, it's kinda expected around half the size of my HDB. After we unpacked our bags most of the cupboards are already full... So it's gonna be challenging, cos I'm looking forward to my shipment of my other stuff when they come in but yet when they come in, it's going to be a lot of stuff and I'm going to have some difficulty unpacking those. Maybe I'll even keep them in the boxes and not unpack them. Which is going to be intriguing, cos it's going to prove that actually all that I really need is around 2 luggage and we have enough for our daily living. Which is pretty what most minimalists have shown. We use very few items everyday and the rest of the stuff that we own are just kinda just lying around the place, or we use them so seldom and it's probably better to just borrow them from friends instead of buying them.
I've been tracking expenses once I landed. Nothing much to be paid out of my own pocket yet, cos most stuff is covered by her company. Food and transport is on our own, utilities and phone line and stuff is also on our own. Maybe we'll be lucky and our expense won't increase as much as I thought.
Anyway, I'm going to leave my apartment now and do a couple of chores and get some laundry and dish washing detergent and other stuff that the landlord doesn't provide... I'm waiting for my shipment, cos I have a lot of my soaps and detergent in there, which I either got for free or bought in bulk a long time ago. So my expenses may be limited cos I have some necessities which I bought in Singapore.
Okie see you guys. I'll be posting more about my life in Paris cos I'll prob have a lot of time to type.
