i'm an alien, i'm a legal alien..

It's been almost 2 weeks since I came to Darmstadt and things are going great. The first week was tough; running around the city, visiting various different offices, banks and meeting insurance agents, but I'm glad to say all this admin rubbish is finally settled! After suffering the first week in a temporary flat, I'm now in my new room in a different flat with 3 other guys (sharder!). This morning the painters came in to give my room a fresh coat of paint and according to my flat mates, this has never happened before. Oh well, I count myself lucky. Check out my bare, white room. I cant stand undecorated rooms! OK.. gimme about 2 weeks and I will get my room in order.

I'm currently sharing a flat with 3 other guys; a french guy Gregory, a german dude Sebastian and a bulgarian chap Pulmen. Greg tries his best to speak English to me although his german is much better and Pulmen cant speak English at all. So basically, when we all are together, its all German! 4 different accents of German! It is certainly improving my rusty german to some extent, I hope. However, its hasn't been much interacting with these guys as I'm out most of the time and they're all busy with exams. At least I'm getting to know Greg quite a bit while we cook our dinners. Yeah, Greg is a pretty good cook, and a healthy eater too so I'm picking up a couple of pointers from him.

My next post will be about work and I've got tonnes of stuff to write about but I dunno if I can... You see, I work in a high-security area and everything I see and do must be kept within. You never know what Google can bring up if I start to blog about it. Nonetheless, I will write within my limits... chao!
