Redundant

"Don't get the impression of the typically mind-boggling bureaucracy associated
with communism. My experience here is that things are generally run very
efficiently. The problems I've described here are difficult because (a) it's a
different system than I know, and (b) I don't speak the native language. The
subway system is fantastic, the banks in the US could learn from the way they do
some things here, the streets are very logical (especially when you learn what
the words mean), and every where you go people are cleaning or sweeping.

After I paid the landlords and we signed the contract, we had to go to the
police station to register my change in address. THAT was not very efficient,
but still it was only about 30 minutes. Jason called the cable company for me
so I could get internet at home, and they were there within an hour. Take that,
US cable companies! Unfortunately, the building management had no one to escort
them to the phone room, so I made an appointment for 9 am Monday morning. And
the guy arrived at EXACTLY 9 am. Take that again, US cable!"
