Chapter 1: Arrival - Almost there (?)

As I mentioned in the previous post, today is a very cold and windy day, which makes trekking around the greater Bergen county doing various chores something of a challenge. Nevertheless, I got some things done today: the social security card should be delivered in a few days, I paid a visit to the bank (again - they sent a weird taxation related letter I wanted to clear up with them) and finally I went to the North Bergen Wallmart for some basic stuff for the apartment.

It's a start
I've also talked to the insurance regarding tenant's insurance and I continue to hesitate regarding the right health coverage program. To my shame and great discomfort I also avoided work today as well (besides a short visit). I don't have a PC or a workstation there yet, and I'm not sure there's anything I can do right now, but I still don't like the apparent slacking I may project (though my days are full and long doing the settling in tasks).

The furniture from Ikea will be delivered tomorrow (no exact time yet), so I should be able to check out of the hotel on Friday morning. Then I'll do some supplementary shopping on the Stop & Shop (plus lamps to bring some light) and that should be that. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I don't know what yet.
