Hahahaha. After a month and 7 visits to the T Mobile store (T-Punkt), we finally have our cell phone. We had to wait until my resident permit cleared last Thursday before they would believe me that I live here. They gave us a €5 credit on our bill for the hassle, and generally were very friendly throughout, so we're happy. Plus they have a super-cool coffee machine, so we get free cappuccinos each time we go, which is a bonus. ;)
In other news, we found out today that Germany has a tax for the TV and radio. €20 a month! Dang! That tax is how they support public broadcasting. Still, it sucks, because even if you only use your TV to watch DVDs you have to pay the tax. And if you try to avoid it, they'll hunt you down and make you pay a big fine (so say our German buddies). So, since Andy and I don't even use the TV provided to us by our landlord, we're gonna ask him to store it in the basement. That way when the TV inspectors come we'll be in the clear. Of course, we may still have to pay €7 a month for the radio tax, since my mp3 player came with one. Doh!
