Legal Alien in Prague

After pilgrimaging to the alien's police for the third time I've been finally accepted and got a paper about it. I don't understand, why they set up alien's polices at all (not only the Czechs but the Germans and others, too), if their only job is to keep foreign people from staying legally in the particular country: If they want the people not being legal in their country why don't they just leave them alone instead of wasting their time with obliging them to spend their time with ineffective bureaucratic things. They could save so much money, which they could use so much better elsewhere.

The Arrival

After a day on the train I arrived on Tuesday 26.09.2006 in Prague, capital city of the Czech Republic, the place that will be my home for almost half a year. And here -- finally -- it's summer, in contrast to what it was like in Konstanz. I afforded a cab -- for a horrendous charge. Next time I use public transport.
I went to the students hostel, where I was to spend the first night in a 6-bed-room, where eventually stayed at least 8 persons.
Later that evening I have been invited to a nice dinner by my lessor to-be. So I found a room outside the students hostel on my first day.
The entire next day was filled with registering for the students hostel (3 hours), moving to an other room (2 beds), registering at the ministry and the university.
On 1. October I left the students hostel and moved into my own room, only 5 minutes from metro OR tram, and not a quarter of an hour walking through the dark after going a long way by metro AND tram.
