We won't be getting internet in our rooms until Monday - growl growl! There's so much info online, but it's rather challenging to get at. Kind of like most things in a new city...
I walked for 45 minutes and asked (literally) 10 people for directions this morning. I wanted to shower, but didn't have shampoo, conditioner, soap, or a bath towel. Plus, I couldn't even ask for a store I knew - like "where's the Target/Wal-mart?" - I was asking for 'ASDA'. I did manage to get bedding last night, so my first night here wasn't completely ruined by shivering under a coat. I still haven't managed any food shopping yet, but I'm doing pretty well with the food here. Intelligent choices!
Sorry for the short post, but I've got to go see about getting some clothes storage. My room doesn't come with drawers, only a free-standing closet-thing. On the upside, I have much less stuff than some of the girls in my flat, who barely have room to move in their rooms (admittedly, the rooms are pretty small). But it's all mine, and it's home for now! Cheers!

Woohoo! I'm enjoying hearing the local flavor already! I'm really rather curious about their breakfast tray; I'm inclined to be skeptical with you. (Holy crap, we agree on strange food!) I say the recipe for a civilized breakfast is citrus plus carbs plus sugar.
Glad to hear that home is taking shape, even if it is one necessity at a time. I'm still not even all unpacked here, either.
Good luck and keep it coming!
Cheers,

PS. When did you start saying cheers? (I approve! :-)
