Andreas and I arrived to Switzerland on September 1st after a tearful and sad goodbye to the Netherlands. It was so sad to leave a country that we enjoyed so much.
Most of all, I will miss my colleagues who were so welcoming and so great. I really enjoyed working with my Dutch, Scottish and Spanish colleagues in Hengelo and will always remember their generousity and their kind goodbye.
Biel/Bienne is a small bilingual French/German town, about the same side as Hengelo, with 70,000 people. It is a small Roman city with a beautiful tiny old town and a very diverse population. It is located about 30 minutes North West from Bern, the capital of Switzerland.
Andreas is working in Olten and I am working in Morges, Switzerland. While they are quite a distance from each other, we opted for a location in the middle, therefore Biel.
We found a great 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor with a beautiful, private atrium and a large living room. Today we got all our stuff from the movers and have spent the afternoon unpacking everything and trying to find it where we packed the darn dishes! haha!
Other than that, work is going well. Andreas started a week ago and has enjoyed his first corporate job so far. I started officially today at Eaton and have enjoyed meeting my new colleagues that come from all over the world, France, Finland, Netherlands, Germans, Italy, Poland and the UK. I will post pictures soon of our new place and the beautifully small watch town of Biel.
Until then! Ciao! Tschuss!
