Herr Mike in Deutschland

I had a very good day at work today. I registered for my Ausweis card which allows me to get in an out of the buildings (very important) and was given a username and password. Which I changed. And then forgot! I was quite pleased however when I managed to ask the IT guy , Peter, to unlock my station in German. I think he was quite impressed also. Went to lunch with a few colleagues at a nearby Greek restaraunt, a bit more expensive than the canteen but much nicer. I just wish I could understand what they were talking about so I could join in the conversations! They talk so fast I can't ever imagine being able to understand them!
It is so hot here I'm roasting in my little cell. I made my first friend on this floor, he is chinese and his name is Chun Wei. He did not have an english name like some chinese people so James, the other english guy, made one for him: John Wayne. Awesome.
