A: Not long, like one week – because everyone is really friendly and you can talk to everybody.
Q: Was it difficult to locate a place to live?
A: With Google Maps, it was very easy. I even “walked streets up and down” with the “street view” option. So, when we came here we already knew where the shops and bus stops were.
