TimeOut

Thanks a lot, Padj!

 

For the kids it’s a grand adventure already. The roaming and exploring of the flat, the snow outside, the excitement... for us it’s a bit more to sort right now but we came for a while, so that period will be a short one in comparison 😊

I can tell you that I have never seen such an organised and professional snow removal service though (I have admittedly never been to Canada, and never seen it in the Nordics, either). Compared to this here, the efforts in the Alpine countries, which usually suffice, still seem puny. I guess they had to evolve the capabilities here 😉

New home...

 
By: KMII : January 2nd, 2019-21:42
Yesterday we arrived to our new home. As can be seen in the first shot, it’s winter. As there will be every year from now on - and not just an alibi one but real, with constant minus temperatures and snow ❄️ And also time to unveil the destination. We wil...  

Congratulations!

I am sure it will be a pleasant and memorable experience for the whole family. Also, as you will soon find out if you haven't yet, Moscow is among the best places in the world for a watch collector. Enjoy!

I have certainly seen the odd thing online...

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:23
But am yet to get involved in this in a live capacity Soon, though. And thanks!

Thanks a lot, Nico!

As for the watch collection, I both hope so and fear it And if there's something you're looking for, I will do my best to assist

Too fresh to know about Moscow...

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:25
As for Vienna, I can understand it partially. We have tried several cities and countries (UK, Switzerland, Germany, etc.) and found Vienna to be the best overall package so far - but maybe the arrival of kids also changed our perspective somewhat... Hopin... 

One thing I understand...

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-11:44
I cannot imagine going to live back in my home town either. 18 years like you, then left, then attempted a short stint again and left for good. I don’t mind visiting but living, no.

Wow, you moved from Vienna to Russia

 
By: Poky : January 2nd, 2019-23:58
Wish you years of happiness in your new home. All the best.

Thanks a lot, Poky!

The fate of someone who has proven flexible enough for foreign assignments

Srecno ;)

Moskva is a place I have not personally been to but both of my parents have and have had pretty good things to say of it culturally and aesthetically. Cheers, Filip

Thanks Filip!

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:27
Looking forward to discovering it for myself. First impressions are certainly good

Most certainly - I will insist!

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:27
By then I might well be 'local enough' to know just where

As am I!

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-08:23
Actually quite curious to get better acquainted with the Chaykin watches - the Lunokhod I find very cool 👌🏻

Seen it live, too?

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-19:59
That’s in a way a dangerous thing, since I might want it even more 😂

Congratulations on your move.

 
By: Bill : January 3rd, 2019-01:42
I am sure you will enjoy the rich culture. We are looking forward to sharing yhis new experience with you. Bedt for 2019 and beyond. Bill

Thanks a lot Bill!

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:28
It will certainly be interesting, of that there is no doubt! Wishing you and your family the same!

I wish you

 
By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 3rd, 2019-02:32
and your Family a perfect stay in your new home, Kristjan! Well, you are not anymore in the neighbourhood, but who knows, when I will be next time in Moscow.. Enjoy your stay! Yours, Adam

Not to worry...

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:29
As there's still a handover to perform, I will be in Vienna often enough - and you're always welcome in Moscow!

Privet to you, too!

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:29
Actually, my next Russian lesson is just about to start Didn't know this is your homeland!

No worries.

 
By: Bounce781 : January 4th, 2019-02:35
If you ever want to practice speaking - send me a DM 😀 Enjoy M-city 😀

Give me a bit of a head start...

 
By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-08:06
Just had three lessons so far. I know two words for a steamship but very few useful ones 😂 Will get there though and at that point gladly get back to your kind offer 👍🏻

You got it!!!

 
By: Bounce781 : January 5th, 2019-12:03
Teplohod - of course. Forgot about that one. Unless You work in the shipping industry, I’m not sure how often you’ll use those, but you’ve got them now 👍🏻 HAGWE

I easily understand your feeling about Vienna my friend

 
By: Mike H : January 3rd, 2019-03:43
... but I am sure you will have a great time with the family in Moscow too. Take care my friend 😉

Thank you so much, Mike!

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:30
I am sure we will have a nice time here - the most important bit (the family) is with, the rest we will sort

Thanks D!

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:30
That I still need to stock up on but should follow your advice

Not sure yet...

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-08:22
But I guess some snow in April is not unheard of 😉 Thanks for the kind wishes - much appreciated!

LOL 😂

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-12:09
So far so good 😉 -1, light dusting of snow. But that’s OK. Let’s see how we deal with much colder temperatures - at least you warned me 👍🏻

That would...

 
By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-21:12
Hit two birds with one stone - warm weather and the sea 👍🏻

Good luck, K.

 
By: TheMadDruid : January 3rd, 2019-12:39
I do hope this will be a worthwhile, and fun, step in your life, and your family's life. Stay warm!

Thanks a lot, Padj!

Thanks a lot Henrik!

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-23:04
I guess one can always do with some 👍🏻😊 Fortunately it’s moving for a job, so many things have been pre-sorted. Feel free to come check it out 😁

And very important - the land of Kamchatka crabs 🦀

 
By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-23:35
Food wise it doesn’t look like we will be lacking 😊 Thanks for the kind wishes, Halkcb!

Finally made it to one of the largest toy stores today...

 
By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-08:07
And life is suddenly so much better 😂 Thanks a lot Abel - a fun adventure for sure 👍🏻

Roaming around...

 
By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-21:13
Both inside the flat and in the city is a grand adventure for them 😊

Thanks, Seeks!

 
By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-08:09
Certainly is - usually takes a while till one really settles in a city I guess. Luckily got a ‘local’ already - other side of the street 😁👍🏻

Best wishes on this new life move!

 
By: MichaelC : January 5th, 2019-07:06
I have great admiration for people and families that move and experience different countries. I have never known such a feeling, perhaps one day!

Certainly something I cannot recommend highly enough...

 
By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-08:10
Maybe not every couple of years but once or twice it’s highly enriching. Thanks a lot Michael and if you ever want to check it out, let me know 👍🏻

Why not!

 
By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-11:06
There’s at least two of us here and maybe more that I am not aware of 🤷🏻‍♂️ Would be fun for sure! 👍🏻
