Amara, don`t you worry! Redemption is just around the corner!
Pretty soon I will launch a start up, a very special heavenly kingdom called "Stamp Free
At Last". Any foreign citizen who has managed to survive German bureaucracy for
one year and can display at least two dozen stamps in her personal papers has proved to
be able to accomplish *anything* else on earth and will be admitted to a very special
kind of kingdom whose features will be announced on launching day. It's all top secret
still, but I can promise, there will be no dull offices, neither stamps nor stamp
colour, no passports, visas and - as a gift - after you filled in just one dozen
admittance forms - a Tshirt with the imprint "I Survived German BureauCRAZY" so doorman
Damien and all the supposedly lucky ones he has already welcomed in his outdated kingdom
will start screaming and begging and come crawling on their knees to be an inhabitant of
our fine paradise - that`s for sure! And we will be generous enough to embrace them
all...after they filled in the required forms, of course. Could you please organize the
supply of forms and stamps and stuff?
