You didn't arrive in the best of weeks . It's been the same here in Manchester.
How have you settled in so far?
It's been fine so far, classes are good but ideally I should have arrived at least a week before, so I could look for apartments without having to attend classes. As it is now, I don't want to miss anything of my course so I've been left with little time to look for places.
I did find one decent place for an apparently decent price right in the city centre, but I'm struggling with payment methods. They want me to pay online but I don't have a credit card with the amount required, and I'm still not able to open a bank account here. I have part of the sum in cash which they don't want. It sucks.
I'm almost asking for a colleague in the course here to pay with his debit card and I'll give him the cash, but I don't want to ask someone I've just met this... well at least not yet. Let's see if I can find a solution tomorrow!
One thing I'm a bit worried is that the studio I found is in Stanley Street, which is quite busy and apparently noisy at night. The room is in the 4th floor and has double gazing, but it still worries me a little...
