Landing smoothly
Feeling the yellow liquid smoothly running down my throat... Nope, not talking about any sleezy golden shower porn movie, but of course Starobrno, the local beer, which I've already fallen in love with!! Hehe, that's about the only thing that I've had time to experience about the Czech Culture. That and oh, the language barrier. It is, apart from the few words that I've managed to catch, extremely hard. For me this is a totally new language family that I will seriously have to dive into. But I will do it! I have set a target to learn at least the basics so that I can survive in shops etc. Otherwise it seems pretty much like another European country. Brno is a compact city with a small walking center and many picturescue buildings.
I also started work on Monday, and oh, it was a very tirening day indeed. I was together with two new operational managers and I guess the program was mostly targeted for them. So I received a HC amount of general info from even the chief dude himself (a very pleasant Indian guy). By the way the company I am working for is Infosys. And more precicely I am working with a client in the field of insurance. And to be even more accurate with a Swedish customer. So intensive language training will be in place.
I live quite cosily with 4 other people. The flat is not that very big, but it has everything needed. There's even a fully equipped kitchen, albeit small. We are one Finnish girl (that would be me), one Polish girl and one Romanian girl. Accompanying us are two boys, a belgian gentleman as well as a nice fella from Cameroon. We are a happy bunch all together. By far I have only been working and running aroud trying to get the necessities, like bank account, phone card, buss card etc. organised. I guess tomorrow I'll have to go make a city tour and take some pictures to post here.
Hejdå! Ahoj! Moikka! Take care! Hasta luego! Wiedersehen! Czesc!
