Notes from Germany

I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at blog(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

the taxman taketh away and then, umm, giveth back?


D00d1!! Tax refund for 2002: 1.166,75 EUR


I actually had to officially "leave the Catholic church" in order to get the Kirchensteuer back. Don't worry. As far as the Pope is concerned I'm still a member of the club. I couldn't really give a shit though.

I'm going to donate some of that to a charity that helps foreigners. Many foreigners here haven't had such an easy transition in Germany as I have. Gotta spread the love. knowmsayin?
