Back in Berlin

Its been a while since our last update here. As always we are busy, working, teaching, designing, writing, hosting friends and exploring the city. Our latest adventure is spelunking our way through the caverns of the German Bureaucracy. I'm slowly gathering the required documentation to apply for a visa so I can legally stay and work. First step is heading to the Burgerampt to register at our new address. Next is finding affordable health care, prooving to the government I have enough money so I won't leach off the social wellfare system and gathering together a portfolio and resume to show I am employable.

Kristi is also changing her registration address and then we are both heading to the volkshochschulen to register for language classes. Lots of running around, too much paperwork, and to top it all off there is rain, sleet and snow falling all at once - not to even mention the freek thunder and lighting that is sporadically filling the seemingly confused Berlin sky.
