Is a nightmare. And expensive. I've been here 2 months now and getting everything sorted in my apartment has been the most stressful exercise.
There's so much I've never even needed to think about before. I think renting a fully-furnished or even part-furnished apartment is quite common and that's what I've always done. Over here it seems to be extremely uncommon to rent a furnished apartment and so I've had to get everything myself.
So far I have:
- A fridge/freezer
- Washing machine
- Queen bed (it's not like I'm gonna sleep in a single)
- Big sofa
My shipment from the UK arrives on Tuesday, so I'll have a TV again, and most importantly my bike! But absolutely no furniture.
Suggests are welcome from those that have had to do this before. I think the next thing should be a hoover, and then some kind of dining table. But I really want a giant TV. I don't even watch TV but I still want a giant one.
What are the things I haven't thought of, but will end up really needing?
