Only a few things/contracts/15 DAYS

Only a few things to get!

I now have almost everything I will take with me on my journey.
Now I start packing, in the next days I will put everything together and see how much space I need.
Following I will get to the city and see what backpack seems to be suitable.

Everything concerning the backpack and my luggage on Friday!

Translate a contract

This was my task for the last days. Translating contracts. I had to do this because the office for child allowance wanted a german contract and refused to read the English one. Just another proof of the German inadeqacy to show some sort of kindness and accommodation concerning bureaucratic stuff.

And now the next contract waits for me, this time I need to translate from German to English.
Some necessary information first: I completed the school not with the Abitur. I choosed to change to a commercial college. So I ended up with the Fachabitur. As some of you know, the Fachabitur has two parts. A theoretical part (completed with graduation) and a practial (24 weeks of internship). These 24 weeks I will be doing in Taiwan so I can study in Germany afterwards.

The school told me: Yes, we have a special trainee contract and we have a nice version in English for you and the company you will be in. - NICE! - So I got the original German contract and the English version. I just read them both to be sure to have the right translation. I noted there were some differences and after some Emails it turned out that they don't have a english version of the contract I need.
Now I have five pages of complicate conract language to translate.

Feels kinda bonus on my injured ankle!

Thats it for today!

Blogging is about...

Sun Moon Lake Sunrise Hey and hello! I arrived in Germany about two months ago and had a lot of work and organisation to do. But by now I have enough spare time to share all the stories and pictures from the last three months. For me blogging is something like a diary. Moreover it is a way to share my thoughts and moments with you and anyone who wants to read them, I like the freedom of doing this and I really want to catch up writing again. I will try to give an update every week. A few photos and a relating story. Furthermore the stories will have certain labels, where you can find them. Additional there will be other labels for different locations. Example: "story, Asia" or "story, Germany". I hope you are looking forward to this project with the same thrill of anticipation as I do. See you next week! Lukas

Why travelling in Taiwan is the best you can experience (Part 1)

Hey everyone! I'm glad I found some time to continue my blog! Since I am travelling I don't have really much time or I am just to tired! I hope you enjoy! Within the next two weeks there will be two more entrys coming. One at January the 20th and the next one about first February! Stay tuned! Update on my last article It is really fun to write down all the funny and strange things about Taiwan, compare all the cultural oddnesses and see why there are such differences or similarities between Taiwan and Germany. Altough I am only able to compare these both countries it is very interesting to read for everyone. Maybe it will give you a new perspective of seeing Taiwan. I will post a version here! Thoughts I am sitting in a fancy Café in Kaoshiung, south-west of Taiwan, enjoying the quiet atmosphere and a coffee mocha. Thinking about the last six days travelling, about my time in Taipei, all the experiences and how everything changed me and my view on my life. Tho...

Why travelling Taiwan is the best you can experience (Part 2)

Well, now it's almost over. I arrived at Sun Moon Lake, my last spot. I am happy to go back to Taipei in two days. But I look forward to my last week with mixed feelings. I am happy to finish my work and take some vacation, see some friends and then go back home. But I also will miss my friends in Taipei and Taiwan, which is a gorgeous place . Kenting I arrived Kenting in the afternoon. It was windy and the sand was flying into my eyes. The hostel offered free bikes, so I took one and rode to the next city to grab some food. Arriving in Hengchun I got some dumplings and went to the visitor information center to see whether I can go somewhere. There I met Tony. He was from America and moved to Kenting because of his girlfirend. We started talking and he introduced me to the area. Tony said that snorkeling should be great around here. I planned to go snorkeling on Little Liuqiu anyway, so I bought the equipment at a local store, Tony showed me. Since it was conven...
