Residence permit and apartment photos

Today Charles and I went to the IND in Rijswijk to apply for our residence permit. Despite horror stories from coworkers, everything went pretty smoothly. Then we came back to Rotterdam to register at the town hall. Now this took a long time and required a lot of paperwork, but we FINALLY got everything done.

We also got around to uploading some pictures of our apartment. We have not received our sea freigh shipment of furniture yet so the only decorations are the rental furniture which came with the place. Here's a mini virtual tour...


The first thing you see hanging on our door (second floor)


Living Room with a tiny European TV that isn't visible in this picture


Kitchen (I love our Senseo coffee machine)


The stairs to the first floor which show off the old steel beams proving we live in an old factory


Our bedroom with a bed that is too small for Charles


Our guest room (we're taking reservations now)


My office on the first floor


Our bathroom


The view from the third floor looking down to the second showing off the crazy light


Charles on the third floor playing video games


Looking in at Charles from the terrace


Our neighbors from the terrace

Rachael,
I love the photos of your new place! It's beautiful -- modern but not cold and still nostalgic without being outdated. I see you're taking reservations for the guest room -- are you and Charles up for seeing two people at once (me and Neal)? I also set up a photo blog on blogspot, more pics to come this weekend when I am on the road in Portland...
