The bears have landed

We’ve finally landed on College Station after many many adventures in Germany and in New York City which included being pushed around just to get myself through as an official immigrant of the United States of America, only to find out that the great Singapore Airlines decided (with no explanation) to leave one piece of our luggage back in Frankfurt while we flew to New York City. The best thing was, all our clothes & toiletries were in the bag.

That gave us a good excuse to check out the outlet mall near the airport hotel we were putting up in, but also caused a great amount of stress and whatnot. The even best-er thing is that there will be no compensation from SIA.

Bleah.

Well, we’ve put that behind us now and we’re now in College Station. Its a small town and everything is easily accessible by car. We’ve got a local mobile line (750 minutes shared, unlimited talk & web courtesy of T-mobile at only $109.00 a month!) and we even found an apartment! The only thing to do now before we start shopping for furniture and other knick-knacks is to cross our fingers and hope the lease gets approved. Here in the States, they take credit rather seriously. Whether it is applying for a mobile phone line or leasing an apartment, they’d have to do a check on your credit background before approving anything. It sounds simple, but its complicated.

More updates soon! Pictures in the next post.
