Prehistory

Before you can do a language course in the states it is necessary to get a visa. The problem is not to get the visa, this is only expensive and a lot of research work, the problem is to get inside the embassy for the visa-interview.

Just to be save I went a little bit earlier than to the embassy the time of my visa-interview. In front of the embassy stood two of those always friendly berlin police officers. And they told me, that I'm a little piece of shit, because I came with a camera, a mobile phone and a backpack. Each one of these is stricly forbidden in the embassy, so they wouldn't let me in. I asked them if it is not possible to leave the stuff somewhere, but this is not possible - safety reasons - you know! But it is possible to put the stuff on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. Ha ha, very funny, I wouldn't leave my stuff on the pavement! It is also not possible to leave the stuff with the police, your friend and helper. On the police in berlin you can count.

So, I called my girlfriend and she came very fast with her car to get my stuff, so I could go in the embassy.

The interview was not longer than two minutes...
