It sounds like your German adventure is just begining. I wish that I could take some of your worry away about the red-tape, but Germany has a notoriously beurocratic system. That being said, however, they are most certainly used to dealing with "Ausl?nder" if you are going ot be living near Hamburg. Besides, no one's goning to deny you anything. You'll just have to do a lot of waiting and sighing over inept civil servants. It makes a good horror tale to tell your stateside friends. Are there any particular topics that you might liked covered in a blog or podcast? I 'd be glad to do some reasearch for you! -Taural Hi and thanks for the comment!

Are there any particular topics that you might liked covered in a blog or podcast? I ‘d be glad to do some reasearch for you!

I found you through podcast alley and for the first time I am looking though and really enjoying your blog... Thanks for doing this episode. We are moving to Pl?n, northeast of Hamburg, in February. The work contract if for four years...but who knows? My son will be nine and my daughter six. It was nice to hear a bit of what to expect from the schools. Is the first day of school pretty much the same across Germany? My concerns as a future first-time expat are about dealing with the bureaucracy of a strange culture when I do not even speak the language...although I am working on that a bit :-). Hi Taural,

I'm annoyed, however and would like to know where the heck the package is. Perhaps I should have sent it with DHL rather than the Deutsche Post. Anyhow, please let me know when you guys receive it.

I haven't received it. Don't fret, however, I've probably eaten my higher-than-healthy American weight in German chocolate procured from my local international foods store. :) I'm sure it'll come long after we've forgotten about it.
