Many years ago in Sydney there was a place called "rent a bomb" that did long-term rentals of older cars - no idea if they're still around, but suspect at least they may have changed their name...

The visa-guy said about 15min by train to the center. I don't know how true is that.

So you're moving to the other side of the world and can't be bothered to do some research on Google maps and the local public transport website ? :palm:

The OP has plenty of company, then.
Back in the days of the "Ten Pound Poms", locals marvelled about how people would fail to do the most basic research, & then whinge that things weren't like "Back Home".

Shipping lab-stuff just doesn't make sense.
As for the rest, sure!
Though, I'm not even sure what would that be. More clothes? ;D

I don't think transport is going to be such a problem.
Besides, this kinds of things are easily solved by talking to local people :)
I'm researching what I feel is most important, though!

Haha!
Well, if you are moving to change your life isn't the new place home?
If you drop the idea of "past home", then there is no problem ;)

In Germany you really need to speak their language to socialize and live here.

Of course I do. I have some basics down that I've known since I was little. At this point it's more a matter of getting more advanced grammar down and mostly vocabulary.

Ah, I think I might have used wrong term then ("montly") ;)
I see the price of Opal card is capped per day/week etc, so it overlaps with what I was told. I think the guy is up-to-date.
I'd still call it a train ticket, though!
