Yep, still here. Doesn't look like I'll make out of here before Christmas. Life goes on here. I'm slowly working into my current life as concierge here at Cool Banana's. The last couple of days, I've arrived for the Meet and Greet riding on one of the choppers. This means that I can lounge in the upper terrace till my phone goes off. Then, like Batman (I could be Batman), I hop on the chopper, don Danni's WWI leather flying hat and roar off around the block to come cruising up to the bus.
"Welcome to Cool Banana's. My name is Bob, I'm the concierge here."
Last night, saw a truly international mix. We've got most of the Nordic countries here: Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, some Swiss from the Italian part, and a whole boatload of Israelis. There's also two girls in the hostel who've lived nearby two of my previous abodes. One lives on Westendstrassen in Munchen, and another lived two blocks from me in Central Sq. Cambridge. Small world.
Emilia and Lauren are back in town after a month gone. The hostel is beginning to fill for Christmas. Rumor has it that there are already 25 people here for Christmas, which is about half the hostel.
I'm now on a bridging visa as I try to get my visa sorted out. Turns out that the application that I sent out was on an old application. It changed about two weeks after I picked it up. I've got a copy of the new form, which I'm filling out now, and plan to fax in later today. Divi, the immigration officer who has been working on my application has been wonderfully helpful thus far, and I hope that this bodes well. At any rate, that's how things stand today.
