Things to do when I arrive in Germany

I thought I write out a little to do list for moving to another country. This is one for when I arrive in Germany on the 4th of January!

1. Find and Book into hostel!

I have it booked thanks to hostelworld. €20 per night not bad for the city centre like! I'm staying in Cologne-Deutz Youth Hostel on Siegesstrasse 5. (Anyone know anything about it?)

2. Get a mobile phone and German number

This way I keep my Irish number, so people here can text me cheap and I can text people in Germany cheaply! the question is which provider!

3. Register my EHIC Card

see post on the EHIC

4. Set up a Bank Account

same as #2

5. Explore Koln

I have to get my bearing somehow

6. Meet the family

When it all begins!!!! :D
