Life goes on… in Amsterdam!

Wooooohoooooo!! Rebecca is going to work next Monday! Yes, negotiations succeeded. They didn’t agree with what Vik suggested immediately though, but we insisted (nothing to lose, if they say no, then I’ll just do what I usually do at home, haha). So after some further discussion, they agreed. It is actually a win-win situation, they are still paying the same for hiring me, just that on my side, I won’t be taxed by the goverment end of the year (only applicable to minijob, subject to rules and regulations, which I still hardly understand by now), and it is not a practical anymore, but a contract job, for 3 months.
If you are interested, it is a language school which I am going to work for, located in Frankfurt, called Sprachcaffe Language PLUS . But don’t get me wrong, I am not going to work as a teacher (not qualified yet, hehe), just as an organiser for holiday courses. So it’s going to be like the time back in American Express, administrative tasks, easy. Yet it’s going to be challenging for me, as I am going to do all this in another language, German (can’t imagine how it’s going to be like…). Anyway I guess it is going to be an extremely good opportunity for me to improve my German, and hopefully I will be able to make some new friends too.
Am feeling excited, anxious and thankful at the moment. All this would be impossible without Vik’s help and support. And I am grateful to some of my friends back home, for their concern and motivation. Not to forget my family members, who constantly pray for me. I guess I am one of the happiest and the most blessed person in the world now :p  Looking forward to next Monday, and I better get back to my German books now! Hugs! (end)
