Not a public office, but relocation firm that was supposed to help us. Our contact went on mat leave, person covering her takes vacation. After a few weeks of unanswered mails, husband's HR calls, *then* we get a snarky reply msg to stop sending emails bc "no one is reading them." Maybe let us know?

'Their' should be 'these'

My sense is that these are much less common than they were, but the administration of many of their schools have not adjusted their approach (in many areas)

I will DM you to see! I think a lot of them are used to dealing with the 'old' type of expats. The ones on big corporate relocations that were temporary.

Thanks! Yes, we also felt that they [school] assume the kids will study in either UK/US or Ireland, maybe Netherlands. But we found several other families who had students at German schools or planned to.

Oh wow! My first concert was Rick Springfield at Engel Stadium in Chattanooga. Sounds bigger than it was. 'Jesse's Girl' had just hit and he played on a stage set up in the outfield to maybe a couple hundred people. I was 10 and mortified that women were throwing their underwear on stage.

Somehow the photo I attached was deleted? It only makes sense if you see it.

Temps were in the low 30s C super hot for September, but still more than 3,000 riders took part. Looking forward to the upcoming 'Kidical Mass' this Sunday. #radschnellverbindung#fahrradfahren#radschnellweg#fahrraddemo#demoberlin 3/3

All converged on the Rotes Rathaus (Berlin's City Hall) that afternoon to advocate for restoring the original improvements. It was one of the hottest days of the summer - and the last really hot day before the cool weather arrived last week. 2/3
