Well we've just had a bit of a turnover at work and the office has just been turned upside down.

I'm not kidding either - this just happened 2 days ago. Fortunately noone was onboard at the time, but it's been fun watching management running around.
Quite funny. How did that happen?

Luckily all of my instruments were off and I'm already set up on another vessel, but the annual bonus isn't looking good.
Basically because of the huge amount of queerslanders living in WA.Quote:

I finally got around to take some pictrues while driving to work. The oncoming traffic must have thought I am a bit crazy taking pictures with the right hand while driving.
Anyway, here we go.
First out to the main street we are about to leave Hamburg:

Then turn right to enter the city again
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2009/08/708.jpg
Lots of garden shops in this area.

Construction ahead, otherwise it would be a smooth 15 minute commute.

Though I was luckier than the long row of cars on the other side:

At last two lanes per direction

Finally arrived

I am sure you can feel the excitement to drive this way every day. Sometimes I take a short nap at the traffic lights.
How's the missus settling in, Fabs?
Surprisingly well. She just finished her language course so tomorrow we will go to the immigration again and then hopefully we have our peace from them for the next two years.
Only problem is the neighbour's crazy wife but I am back late and the wife is pretending to not understand them.
nice pics fab!
Re. settling in, she just got the new residence permit yesterday. Just hand in her passport, both of us signing that we are still living together, get a new sticker in the passport and then: "see you again in january 2012". Compare that to the hassles in Thailand.
^ Good news, Fabs.
Looking forward to your visit to Udon. :mid:
Good news Fabian, well done.
A bit lengthy.
