After my time of living here I've had to develop a few survival techniques to deal with the system...

First of all, never believe what you hear...second of all, always double-check everything...and then last of all, cross your fingers and hope for the best because there's a fair chance the first & second people u spoke to were clueless, lazy or incompetent. ie) Don't expect, and you won't be disappointed.

Applies to most practical aspects of life here (work contract, car, bank, phone, internet, tv, airports..)
