This morning, all of the stress, all of the bureaucracy, and most importantly, all of the wannabe Paris Hiltons in the Rathaus couldn't stand in our way - we passed our German Driver's License tests! :)
The driving instructor picked us up at 10:00 and drove us to the TüV for the test. There was another Chinese guy with us who was doing his test too, and he was actually the one behind the wheel.
When we got there, the instructor asked us if we had our passports...which luckily we did...but the other guy didn't. Turns out that you can't do your test without your passport, so he had to put in some urgent calls back home, and then meet a friend at the Bus Stop to pick it up.
Belinda went first, and passed with flying colours. I went second, and despite feeling like I was going to shit myself and throw-up from the nerves, managed to pass as well.
I just want to put it out there, that this is the 5th driving test that I have sat, across a total of 3 countries, AND I HAVE STILL NEVER HAD TO PARALLEL PARK IN A DRIVING TEST!!! :)
Coolest thing about the test is that they already have your license printed and ready to go, so if you pass, you get your own little plastic piece of 200km/h+ freedom to take with you there and then. It was soooo cool!
Oh yeah, and Belinda wanted me to mention that in the practise lesson on Saturday, the instructor got us to practise stopping by jumping as hard as we could on the brakes in a parking lot. It was cool fun. :)
Tschüß,
'Brush

Congrats! Sounds pretty nerve wracking, but it is great to keep up to date with you guys!
Great to read all of that - licences, festival (can't wait for the pics - the ones in costume should be really good to see) and the visit to snow fields. We went to Mt Buller for a few days - no snow, no cold, no queues for anything either - YEHHH!!!!
Love Dad & Diane
The trials and tribulations of getting a damned german license. Anyone would think you planned on staying there...
