Today is cleaning day. During the last few days we created a plan for cleaning and today we put it into practice. Every one of us got a task and the tasks are alternating every weekend. Today Tobi had to clean the kitchen, Tim had to wipe the floors, René had clean the bathroom (1st floor) and I had to clean the other bathroom on the main floor. Everyone did a good and accurate job. The whole apartment looks very clean. It feels good and it is important to us to have clean, good smelling and hygienic living room. I feel reassured that I am living with people who have the same claims about this area. Besides it was funny to see the guys doing their jobs.

The first 24 hours
After a smooth flight from Berlin Schönefeld to Dublin and a … hm … let’s call it „dynamic“ bus ride we arrived at the Europa Bus Centre in Belfast at approximately 23:15 (UTC). María Gonzales, one of our contact persons here in Belfast, picked us up there and organized some taxis to bring us to our new homes for the next two months. Oliver, René, Tobias and I live in the Somerset Mews Townhouses in the centre of Belfast.
Today we had an induction meeting at RSM Tenon (the company which planned our work experience and supports us here in Belfast) with Kevin Shine, another of our contact persons and our supervisor here, where we got some general information about Belfast and Nothern Ireland as well as more specific information on our work placements.
After the induction Kevin and me took a cab to go to my job interview at Translink, the public transport provider in Northern Ireland, where I was told about general facts of the work at Translink, the current projects and my possible tasks. I will start tomorrow at 9 o’clock.
In my next post I will tell you something about my first day(s) at Translink …
