First we bought a public transport season ticket, as the staff house is 40 minutes away by tube. We waited in a long long line to buy our tickets, and all this after a hard day's work. We needed a photo for our ticket, and the only one I had was me done up for an audition, with pig tails/ braids. The ticket cost 64 Marks which is astronomical but cheaper than everyday and it is too far to walk. We also didn't know that they would take two months of rent off of our first salary for a security deposit. So our $800 a month is looking more like $500. We also had to have a German bank account so they can deposit our check each month. I changed my return air ticket money in to Marks and put it in the bank. We also organized a tax card and a temporary residence visa.
We found our way to the staff house.
