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.

I'm Seein' Robots

I had to go to the Ausländerbehörde last week to renew my work permit. Here is a list of the various documents I had to provide:

• Passport


• last three paystubs from job


• copy of work contract


• copy of rent contract


• Anmeldebestätigung- Piece of paper that says I live where I say I do. Sort of like ID without a picture


• insurance card


• passport photo

It went smoothly but I hate all that bureaucratic crap. Anybody that knows me will attest to the fact that I am not an administrative paperwork kind of guy. I have a hanging file box that I keep all my important immigration/employment/tax papers in. It keeps it all in one central location, but I still have trouble finding anything in there.

Next bureaucratic mission: TÜV and ASU

Meanwhile, what the hell is going on in France? Supposedly similar riot-like incidents are breaking out in Belgium and Germany. I hope it simmers down soon.
