Well, it’s finally official and I can blog about it for sure. :-D! I am leaving for Germany. I got my work permit today and I would be taking off by the first week of July. I am still at a quandary tho as to blog about the whole thing here, or create a separate blog about it, now that wordpress does allow multiple blogs under the same name!
So, I would be as of now staying at either Erlangen or Forccheim in the state of Bavaria [Bayern] and would be working at Forccheim! Hmmm… I think it should be good :-D!!

It’s more like a temp-permanent posting :-D! I am going there to develop certain aspects of a product. Once the product is released, will have to be there for the KT and charms raised. After that, we’ll see from there. ;-)!

I do, but not for the first 3 months. Till then I am on a GERMAN visa. I have to apply for my Schengen visa [for other EU nations] from there. Once that’s granted, I can move my ass to about 9 countries :-D!!
The best part tho is that the driver’s license from India can be used as is, save for a German translation, which will be taken care of once I get there. The Delegation Centre will take care of it!!
Of course, planning to start a new blog on the German scenario and all. Will keep ya guys posted :-)!

Yes Neeraj!!
I am indeed hoping to catch that. However, I have heard that it’s only oh-so-great for the foreigners. The Germans are pretty ok wth it. It was actually popularised by the Americans :-D!
Also, you know it started as a festival coz the Baron [if I remember rite] wanted to congratulate and offer his gratitude to all the farmers in Munchen [Munich]. Hence, it was a gala event. Now it’s a place where all the major beer players showcase their specialty in huge tents. :-D!
Let’s see.. Will definitely blog about it, unless I don’t make it :-)!

That’s the “perfect” sentence containing the “perfect” word for me.
Will be looking forward for a post from you, while you will be sitting in one of the tents alongside a beer-keg 😀
