Well it is the beginning of the month and I am in a new country with a new job. First, I made it safely over. My flight was nice. There was a delay at Ohare to fix some mechanical problems. That always worries me when I am about to get on a plane. Ivana came to pick me up at the airport, and I got to meet her fiance. I haven’t done anything yet except sleep.

My place is great. It is so big. Three bedrooms, a maids quarters, lots of bathrooms, a kitchen and living/dining room. It is furnished and already has some basic supplies, utensils and dishes, and some food to get me by for a while. There are also a lot of switches everywhere. I have no idea what all of them go to. Nothing happens when I switch them on and off. I have a lot of decorating to make the place my own, but I’ll have a few years to get used to it.

Turns out that the US fell apart when I left. The stock market fell 777 points for its biggest drop ever. I doubt it had anything to do with me, but who knows?

I’ll probably need a few more days to get adjusted to the time difference, but I am hoping to do some exploring soon.
