Good morning, or whatever time it is

Good morning! Or whatever time it is.

I had been hoping to get up in the morning and walk around a bit with Natalya, but it just didn't work out that way. And now it's the middle of the lunch break, so I don't know if I'll find banks and things open, but I'll start getting my act together and see from there.

One of the first things to greet me at the airport was an ad for HSBC, so I'm hoping that I can get a bank account relatively easily. I hear that there is a different concept of "relatively easily" here; could be days. But the bank account is really the first thing, that makes everything else possible.

It's gorgeously sunny and warm out, better take a shower and dive into Paris!

I've heard French bureaucracy is in a class of its own.... When I worked there for a summer years ago it wasn't too bad, but since I worked for a bank that probably helped with the bank account thing. Good luck with getting everything set up! Let me know when you're ready for Nordic visitors... :)
