FIRST IMPRESSIONS

So, we live in the actual agency. Let me clarify. The agency is about two buildings for business and one building for residences. It's a compound with a nice little hanging out area in the middle. Think of it as a Melrose Place layout -sans pool. It's really nice. But then again, Munich is a very good looking city.

So, our commute is like, two minutes. Unfortunately, Alex and I are not rooming together. I am on the 2nd floor, and she is on the ground floor. Each "unit" has a kitchen, a bathroom, a laundry room (minus washing machine) and it has three bedrooms. Basically it's kind of like a dorm. It's actually genius. The people who are new and have no place to stay live in the dorm, until they can find a place. I've heard that finding a place here is really hard. So it's pretty great to have a place like this. PLUS, you get to know your fellow co-workers (you wouldn't other wise, since there's about 800 people working here -we hear).

The work day starts between 8-9, not later. There are meetings that go on at 9. Once you go inside, you actually gauge the sheer massiveness of the agency. It is HUGE and really awesome. With so many people, it's gotta be. We waited and were greeted by our contact and she got us to where we were supposed to be. The agency is divided into units, because it is just so HUGE -did I mention it was huge? cos IT IS.

So far it's been freaking' awesome. We've gone on a small tour, and met everyone in the unit. So far It's been loud, it's been funny, it's been friendly, and, we've been given ideas of actual work stuff to do when we find ourselves with "nothing to do". It's been a really great first impression. Lets see what the rest of the quarter brings.

We managed to go out and take some pictures last night (it was raining on Monday). We didnt take a lot, we were mostly getting our bearings..
