how to find IBAN for the German bank

Do you know what anIBAN is ? I thought that this standard is used everywhere. How does it look in Germany ? Well as I need to transfer money for registration fee at the university and for dormitory rental I've got the bank numbers. In the competition national bank numbers vs. IBAN: 2:0.
It was quite surprising as Frankfurt is known as German's bank center. How to deal with that ?
Well, before I give you an answer couple you need some explanation. Why do I think that not IBAN bank numbers can be a problem ?
Because it is in my case. Without it I couldn't specify bank transfer through the internet. Therefore I needed to visit my bank. To my surprise they gave me huge form to fill in. When I asked about format for the German bank's data they didn't give me the answer. The only one I've got was: write it down as you think it would be correct.

Great, thanks :/

So, what I did, was to phone to the German bank and ask for the IBAN for that account. Now I have it, but indirectly ;).

When you will ever be looking for the IBAN in such a case please give a try to IBAN rechner :D.

Health insurance

As Poland is part of the European Union we can use our insurance round EU. The only thing you need is insurance card called EKUZ. But to my surprise the card is written in Polish ;) I can only assume that all card in whole Europe has the same design and are this way recognizable. Anyway, when you are in my age please be aware that there are some problems with the card ;) When you are passing 26 you cannot stay on your parents insurance and your university takes control. The new insurance card is needed. And I want mention this card is valid only for 4 months. So even if you are going for Socrates for half a year you need two cards.
Simple, isn't it ? ;)
