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!

Facets

Hello Everybody! A lot of things happened within the last two weeks. Now I found some time to share a few things with you: Music I found a great place to practice drums. The music store where I bought my guitar offers a room with a drum set for 50 NTD per hour. That is about 1,25 EUR. Incredibly cheap! I try to go there two times a week to keep my level and have some fun! I am really happy I found this! Taipei at it's best Another thing I just discovered is Taipei. Yes I have been here now for almost three months and just now I discover Taipei's facets. This city is so amazing. You can reach almost everything you want within one hour. If you want something historical, visit Dadaocheng, the part of the city where Taipei started growing. From there the aboriginal tribes sold their goods to China. This part has a lot of this feeling. I don't know how to describe this right. You feel like traveled back in time. Many old buildings, no tourism, a lot of old people sell...

Surprising facts, sun, moon and surfing

Wow, surprising stats! I just discovered that this blog got over 1100 views. This is amazing, I never expected to reach that goal within this time. Thank you! This is a great response, I really like to write this blog and I like it even more if you like it. The last entries reached almost 100 each. Furthermore I got a great response from Germans as well as from Taiwanese. Especially the feedback from Taiwanese was cool, because I could offer them a new perspective on Taiwan, Taipei and the everyday life here. THANK YOU! Where sun and moon meet Not completely true but Sun Moon Lake is called like this, because the left side looks like a moon and the right side like a sun. I was invited to join the trip by my boss from Topology. He just got married last Wednesday. I really feel honored I to be invited to his wedding as well as the brief journey. In fact it was really nice and really strange. We visited a old paper mill and a honey farm. Then headed towards th...
