TimeOut

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...  

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!

But am yet to get involved in this in a live capacity Soon, though. And thanks!

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

But may be you are right, Mockba is not really better. However, i wish you a nice time in Russia!

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... 

I have never regretted leaving Vienna.

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.

Wish you years of happiness in your new home. All the best.

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

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

Looking forward to discovering it for myself. First impressions are certainly good

When my Joker is ready for me to pick up maybe we can have a drink together 😉

By then I might well be 'local enough' to know just where

Actually quite curious to get better acquainted with the Chaykin watches - the Lunokhod I find very cool 👌🏻

That’s in a way a dangerous thing, since I might want it even more 😂

No message body

Cannot wait to see them live 👍🏻

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

It will certainly be interesting, of that there is no doubt! Wishing you and your family the same!

Thanks Kari!

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

As there's still a handover to perform, I will be in Vienna often enough - and you're always welcome in Moscow!

Enjoy my former homeland 💪

Actually, my next Russian lesson is just about to start Didn't know this is your homeland!

If you ever want to practice speaking - send me a DM 😀 Enjoy M-city 😀

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 👍🏻

Out of interest: 2 words: Parohod i Korabl’? HAGWE 😀

Korabl‘ is just any ship, right?

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

... but I am sure you will have a great time with the family in Moscow too. Take care my friend 😉

I am sure we will have a nice time here - the most important bit (the family) is with, the rest we will sort

Best of luck to you and family in new home. Cheers D

That I still need to stock up on but should follow your advice

I guess winter will last until May over there?

But I guess some snow in April is not unheard of 😉 Thanks for the kind wishes - much appreciated!

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 👍🏻

. . . by moving to LA next.

Hit two birds with one stone - warm weather and the sea 👍🏻

I do hope this will be a worthwhile, and fun, step in your life, and your family's life. Stay warm!

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 tha... 

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 😁

Food wise it doesn’t look like we will be lacking 😊 Thanks for the kind wishes, Halkcb!

And life is suddenly so much better 😂 Thanks a lot Abel - a fun adventure for sure 👍🏻

Both inside the flat and in the city is a grand adventure for them 😊

I am sure the best is yet to come. Warmest regards

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 😁👍🏻

I have great admiration for people and families that move and experience different countries. I have never known such a feeling, perhaps one day!

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 👍🏻

Will do my best to play host 😊

There’s at least two of us here and maybe more that I am not aware of 🤷🏻‍♂️ Would be fun for sure! 👍🏻

There is an upside to everything 😉
