We're making Progress

Today Fred bought a car when I was at orientation. He got an eight-year old Mitsubishi SpaceStar. (Cars cost more than TWICE here what they do in the states) We also got an apointment with the town hall for tomorrow to bring passports, marriage license, signed lease, etc in order to get a residence permit which we need to get the car and our shipment. Lots of red tape! I also have a seminar about moving overseas smoothly. (A little late for that one!) I'll also learn about the teacher bike shed (LOTS of teachers ride bikes to school, along with the rest of the town!)
Webster College (about a half block from our hotel) has orientation this week, and the kids built a HOUSE out of beer crates. They also kept riding a bar vehicle with about 12 bicycle petals up and down the street. They had to push it UP to get over the bridge, then flew down the other side (under our window) screaming and enjoying being drunk! PS They were mostly speaking English!
