I have a contract!

Yea, today the powers that be decided I could have a contract that ensures I get paid at some point. Although it was in German, I did get a (n informal) translation which sounded very reasonable. Now getting a visa should be childs play (although the one place in Germany where the employees don't speak English is, you guessed it, the foreigners office...).

The latest observation of how Germany is subtly different to New Zealand: They have an uncany ability to place light switches EXACTLY where you would expect them.

Thanks for reading, I'll do another proper post in the weekend.

I like your parenthesised 'informal' so as to keep the grammar correct. Hope you get the decrepit flat that you want! (I read your post on Alana's wall you see). Impressive about the lightswitches. Hopefully you agreed in your contract to donate your vital organs to your employers. LIVE ORGAN DONATIONS!!!

Excellent work with noticing the light switch subtlety, most light switches are well placed sometimes wall space and such gets in the way... cursed wall space.

If you have an electronic or scanned copy of the contract, I could give you another translation if you would like.
