It's 29 degrees outside!!!

Yep! you read it right! I'm in Germany, and it's 29°c outside!!! It got nice and warm yesterday already, and we went for a bike ride next to the Elbe. I wish I had taken my camera... I might do the same thing today or tomorrow- and this time I will... On the way, on the nice path next to the river, we found out that there's a place called "City Beach" which is a nice pub/cafe/volley ball area/chill out place. So we stopped for a beer before going back home. They actually have sand there, and nice beach furniture, and it's a pretty big place. Definitely a place to come back to. So today its 29°c and coz Rob has to study- I'm not sure when we'll have time to go out and enjoy it- I would go somewhere alone but I don't really feel like doing something like that alone, half of the fun is to share the good weather with someone you love.

In the last few days we had some trouble with the cellular company we ordered a SIM card for me. They sent it with DHL and the guy said that without a residence permit he can't give it to me. He said it's an o2's regulation (the cellular company). o2 on the other hand said that it's not true and that the guy should have given me the envelope. DHL said that the ppl in o2 know nothing and that it's not true. This way we were thrown back and forth between stupid companies, and in the end we got an e-mail replying ours, from o2, saying- that yes - I need a permit to sign their contract. Why didn't they say anything about it before in the 100 e-mails they sent me saying what i need to prepare? no one knows... In the end Rob ordered a SIM on his name, and annoyingly enough they wouldn't even let us give them my bank account info, and insisted on taking Rob's. So now I'll be paying him back every month for my phone calls- a situation I must say I don't like... The customer service here is just a joke really... If there's one good thing about Israel is customer service.

You should have taken the SIMYO SIM cards it is cheap and easy, the sim itself is for free and you can load it by bank transfer from any account
