Ice ice baby

Yes, I am writing from Reykjavik Iceland.
I arrived today at 14:10 local time.
The weather was clear and the inflight view was beautiful.
Snow everywhere and a really nice sky.
I think Iceland did an extra effort to greet me nicely :)

At the moment I am staying in a guest house on Agisgata, it is basically 5 min walk from CCP, 8 min walk from a grocery discount store and 8-10 min walk from downtown.
I have already done a bit of exploring including visiting the tourist office to pick up some leaflets. I also decided to eat out.
The view over the harbor was spectacular, white mountains and blue crisp winter evening sky with a full moon, shame I didn't bring the camera, it is still in my luggage.

Now I am really tired, but in a good way, so I think I'll hit the shower and then taste the Cognac I picked up tax free on the way over, yum yum.

Bags are packed

Yes all bags are ready.
Ticket has been printed.

Not much to do now than kick back and relax until tomorrow.
Flight departs at 11:55 Danish time.

Next time I write it will probably be from Iceland :O)

Almost there.

Shipped my PC today, so with a bit of luck I should have it Tuesday next week.
Internet is already enabled in the new flat in Reykjavik, so I can get online pretty much ASAP, which is nice.

I also bought a really cool new wintercoat today, so I can survive January :O).
But no luck in respect to getting new boots, somehow the shops don't seem to think that women need sensible waterproof boots when they go outside in winter.

All in all this has been the easiest move I have ever made. On the Icelandic side CCP has taken care of everything and since my husband stays here in Copenhagen, I have not been forced into thinking about shipping furniture. Basically I have only shipped my PC and my winter clothing I can have in my suitcase on the plane. Easy peacy.

I'll probably ship another crate with summer clothing and books, come late December, when I am home for X-mas.

1 week to go.

6 days until I fly to Reykjavik and 7 days until I start work.

I got my travel guide to Iceland today, as well as some nice, warm and wolly jumpers. :O)

CCP has been real nice with sorting things on the Icelandic side for me, they are looking into apartment and Icelandic ID number. Oh yes and I believe the bank situation is sorted as well, I basically just need the ID number and to sign the papers and I'll have my wage account and VISA.

Can't live without plastic ;O)

The games I will be working on

EVE
The Butterfly Effect


DUST 514
Official trailer

Crazy Crisis

I tried to call my A-kasse yesterday so I can get my vacation money payed out before I leave,
but got the following message:
"Due to the high number of recently unemployed members, ASE is not taking any calls from existing members today in order to deal with the high volume of new cases".

New adventure coming up in 3...2...1...

In less than 14 days I'll will be flying to Reykjavik to work as an Associate Art Producer for CCP the company making (EVE Online). So I thought it would be a good time to start my new blog so I can share my adventure with my family and friends.

There are still uncertainties in respect to how I am going to ship my computer, but everything else seems to fall into place quite nicely. I just received 1 year worth of contact lenses in the mail, so I don't have to worry about getting a new optician right away which is great.
