THE Lows and highs!
Filed Under Daily
Nothing new since last Thursday! The big silence!
I am glad I can use directly my credit card to buy some nice clothes. A Nike sweat shirt and an Adidas T-shirt. And of course the waterproof boots that hurt as hell! Very fancy looking clothes though and I love them because they fit me well. I quickly checked on the financial part of my life and it seems that I have exactly the same expenses than in Australia: 500 for rent and 70 for general cost ( electricity+ internet + cable TV + gas): Total 570 Euros per month.
Claire has a small room, she pays 450 euros, Rallez has the big one with ensuite that comes at 600 and I have the double bedroom and I share the toilet with Claire. They are so quiet that makes the apartment almost creepy! I miss Nils who was much more social but I am not sure he misses me because he has tons of friends and now he owns the place by himself!
French banks are hopeless! Logitelnet from Societe General does not allow me to do international wires via internet. I had to send them a written letter with my signature and the target account info to make the telegraphic transfer. It will cost me 3.5 Euros. So I asked them to pay two months of my rent at once so that I do not bother again with it the next 2 months. I was waiting to open an Irish bank so that I can send money over Dublin using internet banking… It is now secondary and the PPS letter hasn’t arrived yet. This PPS letter has become a nightmare!
Because I do not have much after leaving Australia, I really cares about little things I have. I was so upset when I thought I lost my fancy ND pen given by JC to me for my ND graduation. It is very smooth; I was glad when i found it again.
I think we will get the digital TV cable package since it is very cheap. For barely 5 Euros per month more we have 100 channels instead of 16. Friends old episodes keep me well entertained during the evening and Claire sometimes came and watch them with me. Finally I went to a tan station to have 10 min of UV. I would not want to loose my pretty tan here. Everybody is so white that they look a bit ill!
