Finally...

Finally got my internet connection in my apartment! It was such a long wait. Really cant stand the inefficiency of German service. Can u believe that my bank draft took 6 weeks to clear and I waited for one whole month to get my internet connected. It is ridiculous...

Anyway, my stay in Germany has been so far so good. But I was really unlucky last week. I got flashed by the speed camera on Wed and hit my car on Sat. Dont worry, it was nothing serious. I just hit an obstacle while moving off. But the car door was very badly damaged though. It could not be opened. I was damm sianz throughout the long weekend.It was my first accident and I seriously did not know what is the procedure like in Germany. And to make matter worse, the operator at the hotline cannot speak English. So I needed up having to come up with different words to describe the accident. Firstly, I said I banged my car onto a barrier but she could not understand that. So I said I hit my car onto a barrier and she still cannot understand. So I tried to say I met with an accident and she immediately asked me if I have called the police. And insist that I should call the police. Haiz... . It was after much effort that she realised that I did not bang into another car. I changed the car but I am expected to pay an excess of 550 Euro for the damage. I really hope that my company will help to pay for the damage. Haiz...
