So Much For German Timeliness And Efficiency


... and we're back.

Recounting our seemingly epic struggle to actually get into our apartment and getting on with our lives just isn't worth it-- there's not all that much entertainment value in it, and all the pent-up anger and frustration will seep out. Suffice it to say that we did not, in fact, move out of the hotel on the 9th or 10th of December, but on the 13th (that works out to 78 days in the hotel)-- and the apartment wasn't 100% ready then, and it still isn't now. But it's liveable, and that's what counts. We just got the internet hooked up today, and I've been working on getting all my ducks in a row, contacting language schools for another round of those fun times, and continuine to receive the daily trickle of workmen to finish off this task or that, and so on.

More entries about the move-in to come-- but it's good to be back online so we can get some news (the TV still hasn't been hooked up, and probably won't be for a couple more weeks). Now, what's all this about a shoe-throwing incident?
