In Germany for certification. Bashny.Net

Germany.
After 1, 5 years picking artificial kidney machines, office N, which not so long ago, I was working and decided that it was better to send some of its engineers for certification in Germany, than lose the warranty on the equipment ordered only. And now the day has come when the director called me to his office and, instead of spacing for the order the next batch of parts, said to go to Tbilisi to take to the embassy for a visa. After gathering all the necessary documents, I went there, filled tricky questionnaire on 10 sheets and passing all the necessary certificates, statements and letters came back. A week later, a letter fell on the soap, which opened a visa.
Departure.
Ironically, at the airport long tormented, enlightened, proshmonali and launched the green zone. Fly had "sparrow" - small airplane that landing was shaking like a tin can.
And the view from the bird's-eye view.





Coming out of the airport in Frankfurt, the first thing in the eyes rezanulo - order. No bulls and obvёrtok on earth, debris, at random parked cars ... especially very surprised such a thing - to pedestrians, motorists, it's really a low blow. : D
Lost-just unreal! GPS on my N900 plowed well and on every street corner signs and plaques ... About 95% of the population speaks English.
For 40 euros thrown to the taxi station, where buying a ticket on the express train I went to Schweinfurt. And here the first bummer. All information is in German. After a couple of hours, that are accustomed to mention exactly caught necessary: ​​what is the next station and exit on the right or the left.
When reached Schweinfurt, it was 3am. Catching a taxi got to the Park Hotel is Jägersbrunnen 6a. Unload. Then again, bummer! The hotel is closed. In fact, closed. Narrow street, the lights in the hall extinguished lights on the outside, however, burn. Chela with 2 suitcases and backpacks. And a complete misunderstanding of what is happening. Before we take any action which, as it seemed a couple of guys who came to the door of the hotel, opened it with a key and went inside! Pohvatali bags jumped in after them. The door slammed shut. Inspection of premises on retsepshine found our reservation, but ... on the stand with keys hanging tags only from our room, the keys did not have! Now that's really oblom.No nothing collapsed on couches in the lobby and waited for dawn. Somewhere in the beginning of the seventh heard the clicking of heels and picking door lock. Thank Cthulhu! The door opens and is striking blonde, two meters tall. Which looks at us square eyes! : D We quickly to it, say so and so, engineers from Georgia, at the invitation of the company Fresenius, we have reservations, but the keys we found ... It pops up on the street, from under the rug pulls out an envelope that adorn our names, shakes Keys are universal (which open the door numbers and door to the hotel) and perplexed voice wondered how we got inside! Joked that with the help of black magic, thanked her and rushed into the room.
Quoting myself up, had breakfast and inflated coffee, decided to walk around the city.
Exit then we went out, but a few minutes later jumped back - chilly Germans in November though! Our blonde friend having burnt our reddened noses and ears, with a keen interest asks: "Black magic is powerless against the cold?" Parrazitka what! : D
Insulated, moved to conquer the unknown city. The first thing that caught my eye - a complete absence of life. At all! No one! Nowhere! And the clock is 10:30 !!!



The picturesque waterfall near the hotel



Schweinfurt - a small town, the River Main, separated into two parts: residential and commercial.



Realizing that the plants on the beach with nothing to catch us, back to the north bank and continued to tour. Soon we got the first pig.

Closer to the second half of the day, the streets have become more and more frequently appear representatives of the local community. The vast majority, regardless of gender and age on bicycles.
A snack in the cafe, went back to the hotel and lay down to sleep - the next day began training.
In the morning, getting up for breakfast, and went down with gusto kneading bacon and eggs, considered the dining room furniture.

Arab somehow forgot to sink in the toilet watch. The next day, after training, we went to the pub and once the bartender, saying such a situation, one can not find? The bartender looked at us, smiled and asked to see where the left thing. What was our surprise when going to the toilet we saw on the sink lying forlornly gold Rolex for $ 30,000. Amazing country! At the intersection, cars can not see the red pedestrians. And the man is 15, is waiting for the green. And you too, you are, because that breaks like that of a pig to take and move when others are waiting. By the way, not only surprising honesty and punctuality Germans. They are very friendly! And friendly. If you stand on the street and tupish with GPS or a map to suit you, ask what can help, if you have time - even would be taken where necessary. Or meet with a local view, regardless of sex, he will smile you will smile, say hello - answer, and gradually the conversation, get to know more ... I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that about 20% of the population speaks pretty well in Russian !!! Will you come to the store, you start to talk with the seller, who heard your accent gives "Russian chtoli ?!»

I wandered through the dungeon, as it is particularly hard struck to eat. What, in fact we did.
In the main square, on the building of the city council, installed moving clock that loses each hour scene. Ask the waiter for that scene, he told us that it was "a breath of Master» («Meistertrunk»). It tells the story of how the mayor of Rothenburg saved one gulp drained a three-liter glass of wine. This offered him a glass of Count Tilly captured the city and promised to release Rothenburg if anyone will be able to drink three liters of wine and stay on his feet. Brave Mayor Nush not only stay on his feet. But also to continue the conversation with the Count. The city was looted, the inhabitants remained unharmed.

The next five days were also devoted to training and preparation for certification. And so Friday arrived. We were given tests detected time and ... started! Questions were not very complex, but there were many. After the theoretical part was practical, trablshuting. Instructor in within 5 minutes of tinkering in the machine, and then you had to find that he's played a dirty trick. With all the tasks handled quite quickly, and in the end I scored 91 points out of 100 and received the coveted smart card service engineer. In the evening a farewell dinner was all the staff - all of the groups, all the instructors in the companies. And the next morning having left the hotel we silently and sadly went to Frankfurt am Main. Where we waited for the flight and return to Georgia.

P.S. Thank you for your patience.
