..to a few weeks ago. It’s May 12th, somewhere in the late afternoon. I’m logging in to my Rabobank account, ready to pay a deposit! I had the correct IBAN number and everything went incredibly smooth, smooth as a smoothie. So, fulfilled with confidence, I waited a few days. Eager to receive a room confirmation. But it didn’t come.. even after two weeks, it didn’t come. They said it would take just a few days before you get a confirmation. But those ‘few days’ have gone by almost two times!

So I decided to write an email, I was kinda worried you know.. Luckely, the Swedes tend to email back in jut a matter of minutes.. so only half an hour alter I already received an email back. Unluckely, however, it didn’t provide any good news. It stated the following:

“Dear student, we didn’t receive your payment..” WHUT?? You’re kidding me right?? “.. but wait a few days, it may be due to the mountains of work we’ve got here..” Hmm.. alright, though it’s almost one month later.. I’ll wait a few more days.

One week later: NO FREAKIN’ SIGN OF ANY IMPROVEMENT. So I emailed again.. this time with results! The emailed me back that they (finally) received my money.. And only 2 days later I finally received the confirmation.. end good, all good

So join me next time on an other adventure, yes? YES!!

Ps. the room I got is a 32 square meters appartment which I’ll be sharing with another (male) exchange student.
