Operation Find a Place to Live: ACCOMPLISHED!

Well, something very exciting happened today! We finally moved into a flat where we have our own space and can unpack our bags. Feels real great, I tell you what. We found the place the first day we started looking. We first called a few houses and flats, but where unsuccessul in finding any that were either large enough or fully furnished. Chris finally called an agency in the yellow pages and the lady said we could look at a place in 1 hour, so we headed on over. Right when we got there and looked around, we were pretty sure that it was what we wanted, especially since all utilities are included. But, since we still had another night at our hostel, we decided to wait until the next day to move in. So, today finally came and we woke up early, walked about, what seemed like 40 minutes with our huge packs on our backs, and arrived at the flat.

The flat is pretty big, with 4 separate rooms, 2 of which have windows to the outside. It also has a decent kitchen with all appliances. Two toilets and one shower and a washer and drier. It also has a stereo and TV and we are gonna hopefully get a DVD player added to the place, since the VCR is worthless.

Since Chris found the place, he got to choose the first room and so the rest of us drew cards to see who got to pick next. Annie picked next, then me, then Tim. Luckily, Annie didn't pick the one room I wanted, luckily, so I got to pick the other room that had windows to the outside world, and a queen size bed.

So anywhase, that's all that is new right now, I probably didn't do that great job of explaining the flat, but it is super nice to have our own space and to be able to live somewhat normal, not out of a pack, half my size. As of right now, I'm looking for a job and found 3 places that I really want to work at. Tomorrow evening I have an interview type thing where I show them my cooking skills and then they see if they want me, the restaurant is called Logan & Brown Restaurant and Bar, so check it out on google. Another is called Cafe Bastille. Those two are my favorites, so hopefully they go well. The third is a nice place, like a yacht club, but the chef didn't seem as nice an he's not hiring till the end of the month. Other than that, I'll let you all know when I get a job so I can pay this crazy thing called rent.
