I am out of here!

Well for the last few weeks I have been having a minor saga with my visa. I was not sure if it is possible to leave France with my current visa. As those familiar with large administrative bodies will agree, getting any kind of useful information out of these things is a pain in the ass. So I have spent the last 2 weeks showing my visa to random people, visiting the local prefecture half a dozen times and generally being a anxious pain to those around me. Well, finally I got lucky, I got my friend Aravind to call the local prefecture (for the 3rd time I must say) and somehow a person who knew the rules answereed the phone. And he (or she?) said yes.
There is also another reason why its good. I just bought a 60 day bus pass for 310 euros. Unlimited bus travel inside Europe. If my visa got messed up, its 310 euros down the drain.
So this Friday I will be leaving for Frankfurt or some ger and hopefully every weekend I can 'do' a country every weekend. Fun right. Its kind of boring to travel alone, maybe in the coming weeks I can plan things better and get hold of some travel partners.
