24.5.11

A-B-C easy as 1-2-3

  
    I just spent a titillating morning at the Ausländerbehörde (Foreigner's Office)
    and was absolutely mesmerized and humbled by their unbelievably
    complex numbering system.

    This is the waiting room and number board.
  
    My number is 784.
  
    I know it might look like I missed my turn,
    but my number actually wasn't called yet.
    (Obviously)
    Nope, still not yet.

    Some things, I've learned,
    are really far beyond my limited comprehension skills.

    On that note,
    let's take a break and enjoy something that everyone (except
    for the Ausländerbehörde) can understand.
    (No offense, of course. I'd still like to get my visa.)
