Home, sweet home
So that's it.
After 7 hrs of packing, re-packing, lifting & then unpacking, the big move is completed. What was 'Chitgo's Castle' (aka Eigerstrasse 55) shall henceforth be known as 'Parky's Palace'. The keys to Seftigenstrasse 287 have been handed over.
I'm actually pretty exhausted right now - 11hrs on the overnight train from Amsterdam to Basel (with one guy in my cabin snoring like a pig), arriving in Bern at 8am, coming to the office to catch up on emails, then carrying all my furniture down 3 flights of stairs to the cellar.
Things were complicated by the fact that when i moved there in June last year, there was not space in the office cellar to put many of the things which belong to AIESEC (actually they belong to Nicole) and so they ended up in my attic... And of course there they stayed! Until today that is... So now they are hiding in the cellar in Wabern until i can get them here, then we will have even more furniture in this packed office. Still, at least all the WENA MCPs will have something to sit on when they come for their meeting in 3 weeks :o)
But it feels good rght now, chilling out as i write this, with France vs Cote d'Ivoire on the tv next to me (yes you heard right, there is now a tv in the office - World Cup here we come!), and with my giraffe slippers hugging my aching feet. Just had a really nice chat with Yavor on the balcony (i never lived somewhere with such a big balcony before!) And speaking of Yavor, i have to say a HUUUUUGE thank you, without his efforts today i would either still be moving now, i would be crushed at the bottom of the stairs underneath a wardrobe, or i would have had to burn all of my furniture! Cheers, my friend.
So, i look forward to entertaining you one day soon in my new pad (when i'm not working in it, that is...)

chitgo's palace has a worthy successor...
some useful tips
1. dont stare too hard at the constructors from outside the window (this one is specially for u:))
2. beware of sabi in the mornings-he's noisier than a monster truck rally....
3. stemming from point 2, dont be afraid if u hear loud crashes coming from the kitchen at 8:30 in the morning. its just sabi making coffee.
4. convince zuzi to get one of those delicious schoggigipfelis or carrot cakes from the bakery outside their house.
5. if pp and fabo are staying over, get ready for bratty boy antics till 4am
6. if nadja and joan are staying over, get ready for nice conversations and midnight coffees:)
7. ck is now a stones throw away. he's great company (although not for too long) when bored...hahaha
8. keep the balcony CLEAN! (hahahah i can say this with pride and authority)
if i think of anymore , ill let u know!
have a great next 4 weeks brother..., exciting times up ahead!
