Searching for a room to rent ...
Wow ! It's a pain in the neck to find
a room to rent in London. I get fed up with that. The private
accomodation office staff is really kind (I must admit it's often
the case in UK), but their list of flats is not up-to-date at all.
Everything has already gone !
While prospecting I had some nice people on the phone, but also
some that asked me to phone back, so not to pay the call when they
rent a single room in a family house for £542pcm (around
780¤/month). The same told me to speak slower (usually, I'm
told to speak very slowly) because she couldn't understand me due
to my "very strong accent"... Nevermind.
Tomorrow I should leave the hotel for a guest house at the opposite
side of Hyde Park. If I can't find anything till next week, I think
I will have to go to the university hall that is located 50min away
(tube+foot). And buy a bike to avoid strikes, tubes failures,
crowd, expensive tube cards and maybe to save some time.
