So i might have found a room today...the pickings here are slim to say the least. At one point in the search, I was wondering where all of these thousands of people live! I have searched in every corner of this city, probably seen 20 places, and out of those I have seen 2 that I could imagine living in. So I have attemped to take 1 and went out for a beer in the local pub with them last night, and they are really nice. I will have 3 flatmates, and we will share 1 bathroom, a very small lounge and a kitchen. My requirement have taken a tumble since i started this whole process.

Oh and in the process, i got totally chewed out by this really obnoxious guy yesterday. I told him I was an American, which up to this time has not been a problem, in fact people seem to be very open to it. But not this guy, he was horrible. He was a rental agent, and the way he makes money is to show people flats, then if they like them, he takes a cut of the rent when you move in. But specially for me, he told me that I had to pay him to just see the place, after he told me that his services are for free until i move in. So after i questioned him on it, he started yelling at me how americans only take advantage of people and that i was only going to use him and then not pay in the end. It was horrible!!! I told him that I didn't appreciate being yelled at and started to leave and he just continued yelling as I walked out of the office. It freaked me out, but luckily nothing bad happened, he was just a royal pain the ass. I couldn't believe his assumptions, I guess that is what discrimination feels like, never had to deal with that before. Strange stuff...i guess i have been lucky.
