Settling in London is more difficult than I expected.
I guess it's mainly because of all sorts of problems arising from my flat. My bed is ridiculously soft (glad my flatmate allows me to share a bed with her), the microwave is broken, the batteries for all the remotes are flat, the DVD player doesn't play the Asian Non-pirated DVDs..... Then the connection card of my laptop was broken all of a sudden (It worked before a meal but not after that meal!)
I applied for a phone card, I got rejected by a phone company which offered the most desirable phone plan. Then when I got accepted by another phone company, I got asked to pay additional deposit after their secondary credit check. Fine. I was willing to pay that, and it took the store assistant more than 2 hours to connect to the relevant person of Orange to receive the deposit I was so willing to pay. At one point, the line was connected to a staff in India who had no clue what we wanted to do.
Walking alone at night in London is still a very scary thing. I definitely look more like a thief than anyone else on the street, looking back and forth constantly. I hope the evening won't get dark so soon...
