monstrum praktikum

time to start with preparations for my excursion in to the world of diplomacy.

security check: if you want to work at an ambassy you have undergo a security check by the ministry of the interior: is there any prohibitition against you carrying weapons? do you have contact to groups causing political violence? are you saught after in any country? etc ...

i was wondering why they don't just ask for a certificate of good character from the police. but i guess they better check themselves and they just need you to sign this crappy stuff before....

insurance: jesus christ. i need to pay myself for my damn insurance. this is expensive. lord. all in all this is really going to be expansive.

going abroad via erasmus or any summer student programme was much easier and cheaper.

rooms are really expansive in washington, too.

by the way...

my institute is next to the american ambassy in boltzmanngasse. so there happen to be quite a lot of demonstrations.
today: greenpeace is protesting against the US trying to overthrow the european stop on importing gen-manipulated food. i totally agree with greenpeace.

however... this protest thing was weird cause the people in the embassy could not really see it. since the ambassy is very well guarded and the building is sort of around the corner. so they really cannot see anything. and it's not that so many people pass boltzmanngasse and by thus get aware of this protest.
