Settling in, oder: “Hab ick ne geile Bude, is det….”

After moving into the new house last week, I am starting to actually live in Auckland. That means I can take my time and relax on the weekend without having to worry about the next crazy party coming up. Today, I drove down into the city with my new flatmate Nadja to organize some things that I needed to complete my room. I will buy another cupboard for Sabrina and me hopefully this afternoon (the trademe auction ends at 4pm). After I finally put some pictures on the wall, my room is starting to feel a little more cosy, which is nice after long weeks without feeling anything close to home in my prior room in Meadowbank.

Right now, I am situated at 3/73A Kupe St. in Orakei, Auckland. This is even closer to the beaches and in close reach of downtown Auckland and my office at the University. I am also getting familiar with the use of our manual Espresso maschine “La Pavona PL Professional” which has produced incredible espresso with an authentic dark “crema”.

My project is also going well, my sail analysis program is running and on its best way to being finished next week.
With Sabrina arriving on Saturday, May 10th, I will probably take a day off on the following Monday to show her the city and the most important places to go. Although the weather is more on the unstable side right now, I hope that we can use one day to drive to the West-Coast and enjoy the first bits of “The Great Outdoors” together.

I took some few pictures of my new house (living room) yesterday, that I posted above. There will be more pictures of the surrounding area and our balcony view soon, but our neighbours wifi-network that I am using right now is probably not going to carry all this traffic

I’ll get back to you later, have a nice weekend!!!
