These days, I have been busy with work handover, mainly to make the final handover with my colleague who took over my work. She has never done my job before. After the handover of the information, I have to take her to do it for a few days so that she can get familiar with it as soon as possible. After returning from National Day, I will work for the last week and I will not be able to work. The colleagues have a good relationship and are planning to invite everyone to dinner in the last week, which is a good time to get together.
Yesterday, the Human Resources Department had cancelled all my users. My name is no longer in the unit OA system. I feel so sad. Several colleagues with good relationships called to care about my situation. So suddenly, they never thought I would quit because I felt very down-to-earth.
A friend left a message today asking me why I haven’t updated it yet and why I haven’t written the contents of the 14th and 15th days. Thank you for your support. There was nothing to write about, but if someone wanted to read it, it would be considered as an encouragement for me, so I'd better write about the recent situation.
It is quite troublesome to settle down in one place. Let’s talk about some of our recent progress.
Rental
It has been said before that my teammates have signed a rental contract with the rental company Lumo, which is 912 euros per month, and the water fee is 24 euros per person. The electricity fee is paid as much as you use. Now the electricity fee is 0.25 euros per kilowatt-hour. I don’t know how much it was before the Russian-Ukraine War, but I heard that the electricity fee has increased a lot; there is no gas fee, and the government does not need to pay for centralized heating. I don’t know if I will be frozen this winter, haha, if there is insufficient heating supply, I will tell you the truth.
This is the floor plan of the house we rented. The two rooms also have separate saunas and a large balcony. The light is good and it is a free area. The floor plan shows an area of 55 square meters, but their calculation method is different from that in China. I don’t know how to calculate it now, but the actual area is larger than 55 square meters. I am used to living in big houses in China, so it’s a little smaller than that, so just live there.
Let me show you here. On the day my teammate went to see the house, my teammate rented an electric scooter . It took me 16 minutes and the rent was 6.94 euros. It was really too expensive.
Buy home appliances
Before, I also said that there is no furniture in the house rented with the company, so my teammates went to IKEA to buy some basic furniture, including beds, mattresses, tables, etc. Before I bought all of them, I temporarily bought a part, which cost more than 1,100 euros in total; I bought a washing machine and held an event of 399.9 euros. These are some things that you have purchased at present, and there are still many things you need to buy, which is a considerable expense.
Car View
This week I sold the car I had been driving for 8 years. My teammates also went there to check out the used car market of Finland , but I just took a look at the market first and learned about the market. I don’t plan to buy it yet. Let me show you the picture:
017 Volvo v90 travel version is suitable for a family of four, and can attract a lot of goods. It has been 75,000 kilometers and is now sold for 29,890 euros, which is about RMB 210,000. I don’t understand the domestic market. Do you think this price is expensive or cheap? In addition, I learned that when buying a car in Finland, you can choose not to pay the down payment at the beginning, and directly repay the payment on a monthly basis, and then pay the remaining remaining balance in the last month before the expiration, which is exactly the opposite of how we buy a car with a loan in our domestic way. This is quite special, suitable for those who have insufficient down payment in the early stage but need to buy a car. You can choose this way to pay.
And I am going to buy some things to pack my luggage, including some common children's medicines, and some small things to use. Since I have to bring two children alone, I can't bring much luggage, and I can't pack up to two suitcases, otherwise I really can't take it anymore, so I plan to keep everything simple and only bring the necessary items, and I won't bring anything else I can't bring. Then I was considering whether to rent out the house in China.We now have a mortgage house. We have just renovated it and have not bought home appliances yet, but the location is a little off and there are no supporting facilities around it, so it is probably not easy to rent it. Moreover, our teammates think it is a pity to rent a new house that has just been renovated and are unwilling to rent it. There is also a house we live in full, so the price should be OK when renting it out, but we will have no place to live in the future, so we are still considering it.
or above are some recent progress, and I will continue to follow the new progress.
