Moving day (Umzugstag)

The sign is up and the truck is coming. Finally we have more stuff to wear than what's in our suitcase! It's funny to see that the movers are more excited about us moving than ourselves. They were so fascinated by our stuff as well as the fact that the husband had lived somewhere outside of Germany, but moreso our furniture, especially the bed as it had no screws, only slots in place - we told them that it is the Indonesian Ikea - and they believed us. It was also funny seeing the husband interact with the movers, one had asked my husband something and the husband was not quite used to the Hessen dialect so his first reflex was to say "apa?" to them (which means "what?" in Indonesian) and they seemed to understood what he meant hah! We shouted the movers pizzas and cola for lunch for our appreciation with the moving, I mean, we have alot of wooden furniture, especially our antique bench with like 20 thin drawers and our teakwood dining table. They gave us some interior decorating tips with where to put our things and after the whole day, they left us to do the unpacking. This is going to be a long week.
