(Kopeks are like pennies for us…except they are worth essentially less than pennies…I guess people don’t think they’re worth anything, so you constantly walk around seeing them on the floor, in grocery stores…people drop coins and don’t even bother to look down. I think if I picked up all the kopeks I’ve ever seen, I would have a total of maybe…50-75 kopeks …which is really worth only about 2-3 cents….haha I still feel weird about it…seeing coins everywhere..)
Okay. So I’ve come to terms with a possible renegotiation with myself. Renegotiating what I want regarding an apartment, with what I thought I would have and what is a reality for me in Moscow. They say it’s all about location, location, location right? Right. That’s the conclusion I’ve made. All of the apartment arrangements I’ve made with countless other expats on that expat website have all sort of fallen through…I’ve decided to give up the choice of super nice/comfortable apartment for a dingier yet closer to center/work one. I thought when I got here, that I wanted to be comfortable; I offered myself that luxury. I’m away from home, away from emotional comforts of loved ones. I thought if I’m living my dream, I’ll live it the way I want to and I’ll let myself afford it….
The past couple of days have been a struggle between standing by what I really wanted with what my lack of time and resources is hitting me on the head with. (Not nice apartments (downright dingy actually), rents varying between 700 and up; one perk being CLOSE to work)
Meh, it’s okay….everyone’s supposed to have at least ONE crappy apartment in their life right? Lets choose to see it as a right of passage!
