Preparatory News!

As the project is official now, i'll step out of the shadows!

The bosses have been granting me the leave without any problems. I'm quite pleasently surprised!

Starting date will be the 18th of september 2007, i'll return at the end of march 2008.

I even booked the flight already. After a little dispute with the travel agency, i got the there and back ticket for laughable 600€s.
Next step will now be selecting an appropiate language school. But that shouldnt turn out to be too much a hassle, since the correspondance i had so far is quite positiv.
The final unknown so far: should I try to apply for a pre-college visa or not. If so i will have to book a course for 6months at once, meaning augmenting fixed costs: Visa assistance by the school is extra. 1300€ plus.
The consulate told me, i could stay for 6months visa free, only thing required: alien registration as late as 90 days after arrival, followed by extension for another 90.
Let's see...
