Home Sweet Home

Well, I'm all settled in! A very nice lady in the HR department helped me find an apartment. It is 1/2 block from the UN building, so no excuses about getting lost or being late! This is the view from my balcony where the thousands of screeching birds, psychotic pigeons, angry yelling slovak men, continuous construction and howling dogs dwell. Needless to say, I have not found the need to buy an alarm clock yet. Oh, and I forgot the church bells that ring every 15 minutes all day. Good times. To the right is a view of the street I live on. I am in the building attached to the one with the ivy.
It is EXTREMELY hot here - plus 30s every day, so one of my first purchases was a fan, which makes my little apartment tolerable. It's been a little bit difficult with the language barrier (i.e. getting a cell phone, ordering food!) but everyone in the office speaks english which is a relief! More on my work and co-workers in my next blog. (all great!!)
Hope you are all doing well!
love,
shannon
