It's finally over, we are done with the move. The last appliance delivery was this morning, so now we have a dryer and a microwave. I do find it somewhat amusing that after selling off so many major household items before coming here, we have had to buy most of them again so quickly here. The ADSL was connected today, as well.
I'm actually updating the blog on the new connection. Now we will be spending much of the next few days unpacking everything and arranging the place. About half the furniture remains to be assembled. But we can do laundry without needing coins -- not to mention the wash/dry is actually completed properly now.
The new neighborhood is definitely much quieter, and the new apartment is a better place for accommodating guests. It's easier to wind down in the evenings here, and we don't have to wake up to the sound of heavy traffic outside our window. About the only drawback is the dependence on the train when the weather is bad -- and it's been raining all week. Public transportation in Australia really is somewhat of a joke. It's too expensive to allow for more casual use, and the schedule is not as frequent as it should be to offer real convenience. I haven't seen any country's public transport hold any weight against that of Moscow, Russia.
Time to retire and read for a bit. Pics of the new apartment will be posted as soon as we are done moving in.
