Second day in Manchester!
Filed Under Daily
I was so annoyed with the banking system that I opened two bank accounts: HSCB and Barclay! In Ireland it was a pain in the ass, same story in Manchester but this time I could solve it quickly. I could also exchange 270 Euros in Sterling, that gave me more flexibility until the bank accounts are up and running smoothly! I am still able to use my french credit card in many shops which is really nice! Hopefully the fees aren’t too high. I really did not buy much besides some basic errands. I also unlocked my mobile for 10 GBP, I can use any SIM card now. I really like this Nokia, It is extremely convenient and very stylish! I could not swim today, Wednesday is water polo day. I was a bit pissed but that always happened to me. Since I do not have internet in my room, I forgot to check online…I am so tired, I kept on walking all around Manchester. I discovered the big Mall location finally which is nice to buy cheap stuffs!
The conclusion to all this move is: CASH, you need a lot of cash!!! It is impossible to survive in big cities like Dublin or Manchester without cash! Patience and Energy are two important qualities one needs to develop in order to move around like I do. Strangely I am not patient in real life for anything but I had to when I am moving like this! I do not have the choice anyway. I lost patience while waiting for my food in a chinese restaurant yesterday. I told the waiter I will only pay for the soup because the food took too long to come. The fucker did not apologize or anything and just told me in a very bad english some stupid explanations. It really pissed me off. When I am hungry I loose all control over myself.
