Relocating to Ljubljana SloveniaBY: Paddy | Category: Travel | Post Date: 2009-11-07
3 Key things to know when moving to Ljubljana Ljubljana is a lovely city to live in but it isn't paradise. Here I look at a few of the problems you may encounter when starting a new life in Slovenia. I feel it is worth being prepared for them and perhaps me sharing the lessons I have learnt on the way. 1.Registering Anyone who lives in Slovenia for longer then three months is required by law to register in those three months. Registering is worth doing as soon as possible, as after receiving your personal number you can do other things like open a bank account, get a tax number required for work and register as unemployed. Be aware that this process can be a long a tedious one. If at all possible bring a Slovene friend along; it will make things go faster. To find out more information on registering in Ljubljana search the web for upravneenote si 2 Getting a apartment You'll need to find somewhere to live in Slovenia. Nepremicnine is a great search engine site that is also available in English. Two key things to remember here are: Adverts can be deceiving- you may find advertisements for two room apartments thinking that means two bedrooms, however you may find yourself with a bedroom and a toilet. It's worth asking some simple question before arranging a viewing to save a wasted journey. Be prepared to be turned away for being foreign- I don't think there is any other word but racism for it. So many times when searching for a apartment my Slovene Girl friend made the call and when I turned up with here at the viewing all of a sudden they decided they didn't need any one to live there! This usually happens with old landlords or ladies and to be honest there is not much you can do. Younger landlords or Landlords who have travelled themselves are usually ok. For advertisements for accommodation in Slovenia search online for nepremicnine Your not a tourist any more Ljubljana is a lovely relaxed place to spend a summer, however Ljubljana is a capital city and now you are coming here to live. Don't expect to live how you have lived here while on holiday. When I first came here, I loved the relaxed environment of drinking coffee going for strolls. If you have decided to live in Ljubljana and want to make a life here and you're not Bill Gates, you'll need to get a job like any other place in the world and live within a budget. This can be a hard transition from holidaying in a place and living in a place. Moving house is supposed to be one of the most stressful experiences in life. If this is true moving to any different country is a difficult process and should not be underestimated. The first few months will be hard work but it gets easier, and eventually you'll find yourself established enough to sit back and say with a smile -I'm here, I'm a Ljubljanen- Peace Patrick Byrne For more information on Ljubljana please Visit: www.inyourpocket.si For a personal guide to show you around and advise on the practically of living in Slovenia email me at: relocating2ljubljana@live.com Article Source: http://www.writearticles.org About Author / Additional Info: for more information on Ljubljana Visit www.inyourpocket.si For a Personal Guide to show you around and advise on the practicalities of living in Slovenian email me at : relocating2ljubljana@live.com Additional Articles: * Time management * Another Book about the Kingdom of God. * Something About Prayers and Praying * You can raise your metabolism to burn excess fat of your body * Buying brand new cars had never been so easy!
