Egh.. phoning from my cell before 4 pm is not cheap. Costs 0,50€/min. If I wait to call after 4, then it’s 0,25€/min. Aaaaaaaaanyway, the way I found out about this was when I called this place called EuroRent. Possibly getting an apartment in Auderghem. Spoke with them this morning, then my dad called and I told him everything I had found out about the penthouse from the woman on the phone. He told me to make an appointment to see the place. I called EuroRent again at 2:30 but no one picked up. So then I called again just after four and got an answering machine. Oh how I hate those machines. I always sound so… well not me, whenever I leave a message. But leave a message I did. So hopefully they’ll call me back tomorrow before we leave. If they say that I can see the place tomorrow then I’ll probably stop by the post office too. The one we used to go to when the whole family was in Brussels. Not that close to where we are now. Told my dad that when he asked me to stop by that place. He was on his “Three hours is plenty of time!” reasoning again. If I don’t want to walk (which would take me about an hour (whispers slow walker!)) I’d have to take either two trams or a bus, a metro and a tram… like I said, not easily accessible. And when I go see the penthouse, I’ll probably have to take like three busses before I’m anywhere close to a sensible walking distance. Maybe someone can give me a ride to the place! hopeful
!!! Leaving tomorrow! grin
Okay, back to all the interesting things I did today. When we were leaving the Internet café the dude who runs it asked us where we were from. “Oh, Finland.” “Iiiingland?” “No. FINland.” “Ah.” A bit of a creepy dude. The previous time he gave us this really strange smile when we were leaving. Chin down, a really wide Joker (from Batman) like grin, eyes gleaming… Yeah okay, maybe I’m embellishing a bit, but still… creepy. But he’s the nicest out of the three guys that I’ve dealt with so far. One doesn’t say a word. The other has a serious dandruff problem and just looks mean. So Creepy Guy is the one I prefer to deal with, even if he is creepy.
Bought the beer and chocolate today. There weren’t any seashells so I’m going back to the store tomorrow to see if they have any. If not, then… dunno. Get more of the other chocolate? Or of something else similar to the seashells… We’re just staying for the weekend, but boy, we don’t travel light. The suitcase I used when I went over for a month is barely holding all of our stuff. ^^;; Then again, the beer does weigh a bit. And it takes up some of the space we have… Ah well. I’m gonna make Jaz pull the suitcase from Schuman when we come back on Monday, since I’ll be taking care of it when we go. I hope we have enough time to exchange money before we leave. If not… well, not good.
One thing I certainly won’t miss when I’m in England are the early mornings. I have my alarm go off at 6:45 just to make sure that Jaz is up, then I have to get up at 7:30 to lock the door… get up before eleven if I want any warm water… I just want to sleep late! ;_; I guess that’s what summer is for. Not summer yet. u_u
