Alive and kickin' I am. More than ever, in fact, as this society does not let one sleep tight with their stupendously developed bureaucratic system. The moving experience was not too traumatic, it was actually even a bit therapeutic. But those therapeutic moments did not last too long, as you can imagine. All in all moving is fun. However, I wish I could stick with a simple rule: don't do it more than once a year. If it's done more than once a year, then you can forget about the fun part. How I treat Sweden, I like this. Ruthlessly. You bet, a lot is going on right now, I mean a lot. All those new perks and peculiarities. I wouldn't even dare to imagine how things could and will turn out; a new surprise every single day. I'll be in touch. Hopefully soon and often. Ondina! Alive and kickin’ I am.

Nevertheless, I did not grow anxious enough to cross that ethical boundary, instead I talked a kind soul into handing me over their user/pass. Social hacking goes a long way, and I didn't even use brute force :) I am quite aware with the situation of fat pipes plumbers' availability in Slovenia. I send Seville's Isidor your way now.

I hope the moving experience wasn't too traumatic, if you don'd count the internet and that you are all settled in. Isn't moving fun?? So tell us how Sweden is treating you and of course how you treat Sweden, at least a lot of new stuff is happening to you all the time....difference from here and now. Have a great stay and don't be a stranger! Well, at least now we know that you’re still alive:)) and what is happening to you.
