You may recall a post from a few weeks ago about how I was frustrated by the lack of progress on my move. Well, I'm pleased to report that progress is being made! Here is the previous list:
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
Things that I have to do in Serbia:
1. Register with the Police for Work Permit - Attempted but not completed - BUT I don't think I will need this anymore.
2. Register with the Police for Residency Permit - In process, but not completed - BUT should be completed by next week
3. Find apartment - CHECK!
4. Get car - CHECK!
5. Get local mobile phone - CHECK!
Of course, now there is a whole new list such as:
6. Get the rest of my belongings here - they were packed at my house in the US on 28 Oct. I don't know where they are, but hopefully they arrive soon.
7. Make sure the landlords fix/buy everything they are supposed to so that my apartment is fully functional - there is something wrong with the shower and the water temperature can't be adjusted. So it is either scalding or freezing. There is no warm. The water is the temperature that it is at the boiler (which I have to turn on and off). Also, I don't have any pots and pans. I bought groceries last night, but I can't cook some of the things!
8. Get a local bank so I don't have to pay outrageous fees on my stupid credit card.
9. Really figure out how to get to and from work without getting lost:)
But I think that there is definitely progress being made.

Glad to see you're making progress. Actually, it's very impressive. I can't seem to clean my house or accomplish much of anything and I'm surrounded by people who speak English (mostly) and my own stuff (too much of it.) Miss you!

I posted a comment a couple of days ago, but I apparently did not follow the correct procedure, so I will try it again.
