How is it back here

My departure, way and arrival was mostly escorted by fortune. And while I'm here there is not happened too mentionable things except three:
-yesterday I thought I get a bank account at Halifax about what I was applying online, but today they just realised, it's not open fully, because I didn't prove my address... just like before at all of the other banks. So I did almost nothing about this case.
-but I send a few apply for jobs and get an e-mail about an agency, where I was today. They registering people for waiter, cook, and any kind of catering work. Today they called me back so I have to go to a work at a wedding in this week, and even next week I gonna have waiter job for 5 days. Let's say, it's not too much, but is better then nothing.
-thirdly I feel good in a good place, so no worries.

More in the following days.

Enjoy,
By!

P. S.: no pictures today. Next time I gonna come with two.

Last steps for returning

Tomorrow afternoon I will start my journey back to the island. Hopefully until that time my phone will be unlocked and my diploma of citizenship will be translated and notarized. And one very important thing: I've got my new casette remover tool, what I ordered at monday:
It's a very important and unmissable part between bicycle repairers. Without it I can just watch the backwheel, but do nothing with it.

Ah, and yes, I got a nice deal: 4 GB micro SDHC card (class 4) with adapter. I was happy because of it and try to put it in my Nokia 3110c, but I forget that, the poor phone was made in 2007, and at that time was not so usual a 4 GB card so when I put it in, it doesen't know what is that. So I'll wait for tomorrow for the other Nokia what has a data limit 32 GB, not 2. But everything is all right. Almost.

So this is the brief story of the day. Probably tomorrow I'll miss an entry because of the travelling, but the day after I'll be back.

Have a nice night!
An for those, how does not deserve it, then: night night.

Kezitcsókolom!

Uhh, busy morning

It started this day at 5 AM and for first I got the train to Csíkszereda towards the Hungarian rezidency (actually Lazarus House). So because the early train I had a long hour to enjoy a beautyful morning over there. But let's speak about the point: they invited us (arouond 35 people) to a lounge and exactly at 8:30 we entered the room  to swear for the citizenship. After the Hungarian and Secler anthem and a few nice words we've got the Hungarian citizenship letter. After a glass of champaigne and some posing
my way lead me to eat a proper lunch in cozy, friendly environment and to reach the next train home.
But! The main thing of the day (except the citizenship) it was the information-collecting about: how can I resolve to get my Hungarian passport 'till Thursday. So after a lot of minutes of phonecall to Hungary I realised that I have no chance for it. The main reason is that: though I'm already officially Hungarian, my datas are not yet in the national register. As soon those will be there, I can ask for the passport, what will be ready from 1 to 7 days (depending the thickness of my wallet) if I'll be there personally.

So tomorrow I make this diploma translated and notarized so I can use it in England if accepted.

Few more interesting thing what I faced with today:
First of all here is a poster of an independent campaigner. I don't want to say any negative or positive opinion about it, but it really worth to see:
Sprencz Tamás (independent campaigner of Csíkszereda)
And to see what I'm speaking about, there is another campaing poster just right above:
Now maybe you know what I'm speaking about. And don't get it wrong, please!


But let's not to stop here. Csíkszereda is big so there was other things happened as well. Just like how this following three-picture-group meant to show it:

(Marika, I love you soo much)
 (at least they have something)
And all of this services for only:
Hurray!

But now let's leave the pictures and the willings to rest and have a great night at the far and in the close as well. And enjoy the calmness of a village just like how a business of a city can be also a pleasure.

Bey!

Oh! And Peter is all right! Even without walking stick...

2012. június 5., kedd

New member

Got a new member into the club:
...and a new shoes and a haircut, to not to forget them.

Tomorrow swear to the citizenship, but they say I have no chance to get passport or ID card before one month. So we'll see tomorrow.

Enjoy your night. Mine it will be just three hours till the train.
I'll be back with more information tomorrow.

Make your sleep good somehow in these days. Bey!

2012. június 4., hétfő

Day after tomorrow

But now is still day before yesterday. I just arrived to this home from Southampton. The journey was smooth... at least for me.
So through everything, like the pretty little pink Wizzair plane,
 and the "cute" Transylvania Airport at Vásárhely,
and the retro
 and regularily dirty communist train,
I'm laying in my bed. Preparing a shoe- and phone buy for tomorrow. And hopefully - in the company of the last mentioned things - I'll be recieving the citizenship the day after.

So far that's all.

Sleep tighty tight.

Puszik!

2012. május 29., kedd

Not a big fault...

...but they've made a lot of cofusion with giving almost the same name to July and June (in my language: június, július). Just one letter difference. So acually it was my fault that I heard July instead of June. So what is the conclusion, why I write this? Yes, I have to go home in this week, not in next month.
You ask why? For what else than the Hungarian citizenship. Yes, I'll get it in next week. I've been just confused with this two months.

So from now I start looking for job like Hungarian. I gonna let you know, how I succeed in this case; but anyway first of all I have to get this diploma. And just after that start the "worth speaking": at 8th of october I'll be an official Hungarian in England.

And to give a little bit of taste, of this idyl, just look at me now:

Hope that you feeling the same good as me and hope the same bright future as well.
Have a wonderful night and just how the closest bedding vendor shop says at the corner: sleep tight.

2012. május 27., vasárnap

Citizenship

Yes, I've got it. Actually at 6th of July I'll became Hungarian.
So I'll be like that, but sill I don't want to delay this job-searching status like Romanian citizen. I'd like to get a job in this case. I hope I'll succeed soon.

Today it was Saturday so not too much thing happened, but the things, what has to be done at Monday, still getting more and more. But the most important to change my EU driving licence to UK driving licence. This'll be good for prooving my adress (in the driver's licence there will be my adress) in any case. Believe me, there is a lot.

So besides other important things this will be the first one what I have to do.

But who can not do any kind of thing, who has this kind of food in the table?:

So dream that you are eathing such kind of thing and have a beautyful night!
Pá!

Phone card

Do you know, how bad is to be without a phone. All right, it's not the end of the world but people usually got used with it and we can not think about the world without it. How to say, it's normal.
So my short story is about my Tesco mobile card, what made me to be without phone for a few days. But let's see, how it happened.

So first I bought my Orange pay-as-you-go sim card (pre-pay) and I used it 'till the balance became 0. After this card I saw a better offer at the Tesco: for 20 pounds top up I got additionally 40 Pounds in my balance. It sounds good so I bought it.
I had bring it home and other day, when I was speaking with somebody, my call was disrupted after 49 seconds and the automatic operator told me immediately: your balance is 0.
HOW COME? I had 20 ponds in my card just one day ago. What happened?
I started to call the customer service, but the service provider always forwarded my call to the Tesco top-up service, adviced me to top up my card. But I DIDN'T want to top up. I wanted to speak with the customer service to know, what happened. So I tried a lot of other numbers of the customer services, but without success.
I startet do search after forums, maybe somebody had the same problem. But no.
After a while I found a forum, what says, I have to pay 8 pence/minute for the customer service calls. Ahham! Then I understood, why was my call always forwarded to the top-up service.
So I took my stuff and went out to call them from a coin-drop-in phone. I did it, and for 2,5 Pounds and 7 minutes we (the operator and me) found out the problem.

...you know that feeling, when you can not resolve a problem, just thinking and thinking, but the answer is in the front of your face.
...you know that feeling, when you are just thinking and thinking and, 'cause you can not find the solution, you think, somebody else is the guilty.
...you know that feeling, when you are blaming somebody else, but actually you are the guilty, just don't know it yet.
...and you know that feeling, when suddenly you understand everything...

that feeling is not good.

So, to continue my story, I can say - reading the things what I just wrote above -, you know how I felt.
What was the problem? Me, obviously. When bought my card, I got a voucher with it (voucher is a kind of receipt). The voucher was my top-up warrant. And to activate it I should have call that number from my phone. Otherwise I had basicly just 1 Pound on it, what is enought for 49 second of speach...

So after that the story should continue with: "I lashed my forehade and got the voucher and called the number and live happily ever after..."

BUT NO!

I came home from the local phone cabin to take my voucher but I just realized that I threw it out already. Oh yes!
Rund down the stairs, snap out the door, open the bin-lid and thanks for god, the garbage is still inside. Inside the two full 200 liter bins. So let's start the work...
It took almost one hour, but in the bottom of the last plastic bag i found my 20 Pounds worth voucher.

And yes, after this, the story is obvious.
So this was the story about my dumb head and the innocent Tesco card.

Never judge too early!

But sleap well ;)

2012. május 24., csütörtök

Clean

Yes, it's really important to live in tidy environment. The "today" was sacrificed for this. Now the bathrooms and the half of the kitchen is nice and proper.

Unfortunately I can not spread any good news about the job oportunities, but I feel much more comfortable in this country now. And it counts.

So let's start the "tomorrow" with bigger expectations, higher possibilities and stronger self confidence.

Oh, and the saying that: "cheap meat has watery juice" it's became reassured by this Tesco phone card. Yesterday I just wanted to use it for a few minutes but after 43 second the call stopped and the automatic operator just told me: "sorry but you're out of credit." It's really interesting. Few minutes before I had 20 Pounds on it.
Tomorrow have to find out what happened. Hope that I will get this money back. Tesco...

So let's have a sweet dream with the others.

By now.

2012. május 23., szerda

Good

For today I gonna publish just a short entry: I feeling good and everything is totally all right. Let's see the tomorrow and arrange the life.

And to not to miss a good picture:
Did you see this kind of tall trucks back home? I don't think so.

Just have a goog night and sleep well!

Bye-bye!
-Peter from here.

2012. május 22., kedd

Little bit more home

Today morning a nice surpise was waiting for me on the floor at the doorway. An envelope from the Tesco:
And what else should be inside? My new Clubcard:
Now the home getting homer and homer. And tomorrow there will became real home.

With this card now I had a bigger food-shopping, but except this no other things to mention for today, just some cleaning washing and cooking things.

And yes, again have a new number: 07858 065 492. Now this is a Tesco card. It had a better offer than the Orange one before so I choosed this now. But don't save this number too deeply in your device, 'cause I guess I gonna have a new number, when I finished this card.
I need few months here to fint the best offer and then my number become permanent. I'll let you know when.

Good night,
sleep tight!

2012. május 21., hétfő

A regular sunday...

...for a lot of people maybe, but not for me. So what is the thing, what it makes this day different?
Firs of all i woke up at 8 o' clock to wash my car, cause it was too dirty for going to the church with it. Yes, you didn't misread it: to the Church.
Yesterday night I was speaking with my housemate and she told me, she'll go to the church tomorrow. I was curious how should a liturgy happen over here in the far England so I asked if I could join. The answer: yes, sure. So it happened like this that Sunay morning at 9:15, with clean car I was heading to one of Southampton's cinema...

...what did I say again? Wait for a moment?
...yes, I really meant to say write: cinema. Because that was the place, where these evangelists have gathered.
First I was surprised but after that i realised, what's gonna happen soon, it is not a regular Evangelistic lithurgy, but a meeting of the Life Church regional group.
It was really strange, when they started to jump and dance, when the program started. I felt myself as an alien over there, but what shoul I do. Once I started I had to finish it. So it was going for more than one long hour, after that 45 minutes Word teaching, followed by two more songs and that's it. While we came out, it was around 1 P. M. After this religional being-together we went into another place, where they had a lot of food made by a lot of nations. Namely it was the Day of the Nations in their schedule so everybody bring some kind of food there. I was eating, speaking, meating with a lot of new very nice people over there. After this long singing-praying lithurgy I could feel myself really comfortable speaking with people about things about what I wanted to speak.

At the afternoon my day become just better with smaller-bigger valleys and now i'm feeling all right.

The other mentionable thing was this: look what we have over here at the front of the house:
The achievement it was the stick-band cage what I improvised around this nice white rose bush helping it to grow big and strong.

That's it for today.

It's always good to listen a lovely voice speaking. So just close your eyes, open your ears and suddenly fall asleep.
And keep it up well.

Bey!

2012. május 20., vasárnap

Garage

I finished it. Emptied it, cleaned it, rearranged it. It took three hour with the spiders but it worth it. Now I had some kind of feeling, like accomplished something.
To see how does it look my let-to-use-this-time-for-something-useful accomlishment, here you go:
Before:
 Meantime:
 After:
And to see what I had to deal with, while cleaning that place, here I present you a big and dangerous spider attacking that innocent coin:
Though they didn't mean to strong harm to my life they was not welcome in that place by me. And I even met two of them in this size. Hrr!

All right, let's put away the joking time and speak something serious.
So I checked towards this job offers, but Saturday is not the best day to find a good one. Next week will be a new opportunity so hope up!, but first let's have a Sunday. Serious things done.

And look, what can I enjoy if I let myself for it:
Maybe the picture can not give back the feeling, but this 20 years old 81cm diameter TV shows the HD really sharp and nice. This film was about the Yellowtone National Park and had amazing pictures. One more thing to keep me happy. Despite of this I'm still not, and now I know why, I have my reason for it.

But next week comes and everything will be more than wonderful. Am I right? Yes! Tyvm.

Oh! And always helps a little bit to see my bike clean:

I hope you enjoyed my picture based entry and have a pink-cloudy dream, just like I'll have. Hopefully tomorrow is more to tell.
Bey!

Magyarul

Hétvége van, itt az ideje, hogy írjak egy kisebb összegzést magyarul. Szóval mi is történet velem az utóbbi két héten?
Utolsó bejegyzésem megírása után szépen felpakoltam és másnap már úton is voltam. Három napig autókáztam, mire végre megérkeztem Versailles-ba nagynénémhez. Na, ott elüldögéltem vagy három-négy napig, mikoris hirtelen találtam egy jóféle lakhatási lehetőséget Angliában Southampton városában. Fel is hívtam a fickót s egy rövidebb egyezkedés után két nap múlva már benne is voltam a lakásban. Ez volt fix egy héttel ezelőtt.
Na azóta szépen bújom a weboldalakat keresek munkát, mindenféle eljárásoknak a tövére jártam: mit hogyan kell, mikortól, mennyire és hogy hogyan. Már elég jól benne vagyok a dologban úgy érzem, csak még munkát nem találtam. Na és akkor meg is érkeztünk a lényeghez. Hogy is van ez, hogy is lehet itt Angliában munkát találni románként? Merthogy ugye itt az vagyok.

Na első sorban mindnenképp tudni kell, hogy románok és bolgárok nem dolgozhatnak az Egyesült Királyságban csakis tanulóként, magánvállalkozóként, nyári mezőgazdasági munkásként vagy au-pairként.
Vegyük is sorra:
   -tanulóként kell legalább heti 100 Fontot fizetni az iskolára, és fél évbe is beletelhet, míg a szükséges iratok beküldése után megérkezik a zengedély. Tehát nem valami rózsás a helyzet annak, aki ezúton akar munkát vállalni. Meg kell viszont említsem, hogy vannak olyan kollégiumok, melyek heti 3 órával is felveszek diákokat. Elvileg ezek nincsenek akkreditálva tehát nem adhatnak igazolást, hogy náluk diákként tanul az illető, de lehet, hogy megoldható valamilyen módon. Ennek nem jártam utána. Viszont még így is lehet, hogy eltelik fél év, mire megérkezik az engedély arra, hogy heti 20 órát lehessen dolgozni.
   -magánvállalkozóként. El kell kezdeni valamiféle vállalkozást. A bevételt és a kiadást szépen jegyezni kell és, ha van, bankszámlára kell utalni szépen folytonosan. Mikor letelik egy hónap körülbelöl, fell kell hívni a Jobcenter Plus-t, ahol behívnak majd egy interjúra, ahol mindent be kell mutass a vállalkozásodról ahhoz, hogy megkapd a National Insurance Number-t. Na, ha ez megvan, akkor szépen fel kell hívd a HMRC-t, hogy kapj egy újabb időpontot egy újabb interjúra ahol majd mindent újra bemutatva és igazolva bizonyos időre rá megkapod a sárga kártyát, azaz a magánvállalkozói igazolást. Elvileg. De kitudja, hogy még mit nem tudok.
   -nyári mezőgazdasági munkásként kicsikarják belőled a szart is valami minimális pénzért. Viszont ha egy évig folyamatosan húzod (nem tudom, hogy lehet nyári munkát egy évig folyamatosan húzni...), akkor megkapod a jogot - mint bármilyen más munka esetében -, hogy legálisan bármilyen munkát vállalhass bárhol Anglia területén.
   -Au-pairként egész jó lehetőségek vannak. De arra úgy érdemes jönni, hogy otthon le kell zsírozni előre az egészet és akkor egy családhoz érkezni, ahol ottlakással gyerekekre kell vigyázni és házi munkát végezni. Ez esetben lehet igényelni egy lila kártyát amivel munkán kívül van egy csomó jogosultság mindenfélére.

Na én a magánvállalkozóira vagyok ráállva csak kellene valamilyen munkát találni: takarító, sofőr, építkező munkás, vagy bármi, amit lehet magánvállalkozóként csinálni.

Szóval itt tartok most. Jövő héten megint összeösszegzem azt, hogy hogy állok.

S akkor minden jót s sok szerencsét mindenkinek.
Pák!

You know the "Secret"...

I saw that movie around five years ago and I told in myself, why not, let's imagine something secretly, maybe it'll  come true. I imagined that I gonna have a house or at least, I gonna live in a house. And today I just wondering, what I bring true, and just realized, that it's already here: I'm living in a house.
It's very interesting that people just running and not realizing their achievements. They complaining and feeling sorry about their hard life, but their forget to see back, how they have changed, what they earned in their life. I can assure you, everybody have some earnings.
I'm telling you this, though I don't want you to be satisfied with yourself. NO. Just to remember what you did, just to see, how strong willpower is hiding in you; and to know, you can earn anything, you want.

Writing this kind of motivating story despite of that I'm feeling not so happy. I don't have reason for it, I'm just not so glittering tonight.

However I dreamed -> planned -> and worked out this:

 So the "secret" is working in short term as well. Additionally I have to mention that all of this wonderfuldelicious, acceptable food wonder could not become real without this professional china-blade (not made-in china!) knife, for what I'm expressing my gratitude to my aunt.

Today I just checked some blogs and one of them brougt my attention. Somebody wrote this (with me smiling to you in the background, and NOT on the meaning of the blog):
The translation:

"first

This blog will be about important things, big plans, aims and accomplishments."

That's it. There was no more entry's. This was the only one since 8th of March 2010. Who is this guy? Why he wrote this? I can see some very deep thing in the supposed prediction about this. I don't know what, it's too complicated. Maybe you.
And just how somebody told me: don't be prejudiced.

I almost forget to mention. Today I applied for two more jobs. One of them told me, she gonna call me back... but still nothing. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe somebody else. Anyway, there will be something.

So back to the "secret". Think big, go for it, one day it'll become true... just not to forget to realize it.

Have a good one, sleep tight!
'Night!

2012. május 18., péntek

All right then

So here is it, how I look like for somebody, who just want to hire me: he just sees in the job apply field:
   -i'm living in the UK (cause yes I'm living here)
   -i can speak: English, Hungarian, Romanian
   -I have right to work here but I would like to apply for a job, only like self employed person to make myself accredited like this

And all of these things are true. I just forget to mention some other things. Obviously my CV is much more complex, but this is what is worth about me.

So today I applyed two ads by e-mail. Tomorrow I gonna call them, what do they think about them. I think, if I reached that point to see my employers, I won the game, cause I think I can prove that I'm able for any kind of job. But obviously the job what I know the best, is exactly the actual one.

After this lying course let me tell you how can a spider make me hard time. So imagine this corner:
So there was a big and dangerous spider and I'd liked to exterminate it. There was it's spawns as well. At least 4-6 of them. So i got the broom and get into the stride to kill them. But the big f...ing spider was smarter than me: exactly at the time of the struggle it hided behind the wires somewhere deep. So I was hitting and grooming and brushing and flitting and even burning, but it doesen't came out. I could kill all the dumb spawns, cause they just running away in all direction, but the big one was wiser then me. So it happened like this that I could not get it. Now, who knows, maybe it's crowling up to the second floor and wants to get it's revenge on me in the middle of the night, while I'm sleeping on my back with my mouths open. Yach!!!

Beside this spider thing I did some really useful job as well, but let's just not mention them. Just basic stuffs.
Ah yes, I made my first UK shopping for 3.87 Pounds.
And look, what we had in the front of our gate:
English humour should be useful sometimes. At least I'm not walking in dog shit.

So good night, fly with the poo fairy of the fairy tales.
Bye!

2012. május 17., csütörtök

Getting normal...

...living here after four days. Now I can feel little bit, like a kind of home.

I can not fill up with this backgarden, what actually is not a garden, but a backyard with a small garage and with a lot ot work-to-do on it. I just like it very much.
Today I cleaned just the "frontyard" but even that 15 square meters gave me 3 hard hours, and I didn't mention the kitchen and the garage and the backyard, where I arranged few things also. I chopped down more than one large green bin of weed there (from the front) with my new housemate: Andrew from Nigeria.

But let's speak about serious things:
Today I went to the Jobcenter Plus, were they setting the appointment for the National Insurance Nuber. I was there, but they told me i'ts not possible to speak personally with them so I had to call them by phone (from 5 meters... burocracy). So they told me that I can apply for the national insurance number just in case when I'm already working as self employed; so when I'm about to go to the interview (if i get the appointment), I have to provide a lot of information about my business: I had to show insurances, taxes, client's lists and so on, as much information as I can.
For a few seconds I felt, I just got myself even in deeper shit of complications than before, but WAIT for a minute! Let's see from closer:
   -so even aggreed with the immigration restrictions, the UK immigration give you right to work in the UK freely as self employed.
   -to became self employed, you need the National Insurance Number (NIN)
   -to get the NIN, you have to have a work already, at least one month long.
So let's just put this three things together: it means that I can work legally like self employed even WITHOUT any paper. No need for NIN, no need for yellow card (self employed certificate), just work, because I HAVE right for it. And one month later just call the Jobcentre Plus and tell them, I am working already like self employed and I'd like to start the procedure for the NIN and for the yellow card.
So simply: I can start work whenever I want, just have to choose that kind of job, where I can be self employed, like: cleaning, being labourer, driving, working in warehouse, in repair business or anywhere, where i can say that: this is my profession. An of course I have profession for any kind of job if I am in need.
...just get a boss, who's thinking the same. But there have to exist some.

Simple as it is tomorrow I start to apply for self employed jobs and if the employer asks me, what is my NIN or where is my yellow card, I just tell him, it's under progress, but I have the right to work like self employed. And really. I didn't lie... to big.

Besides this I bought some glue to fix some thing in this house, cause it's in need for it.
So i have enough job for tomorrow, let's relax a bit and start a new day with strong e'lan.

And just to know, here they hurling with this kind of things:

Fly high, see me sleeping!
Bey!

Still

I don't know, how long gonna last this arranging, but it should be goot to finish somehow. Today I tried another bank for account. At this time at the Lloyds. The gave me the sheet, saying just fill it up and you gonna get the a cash account. All right - I said - and started to fill up the application form but 2 minutes after, the information-provider lady came and excused herself, saying "sorry, but you can not get the cash account just like this, only if you present a yellow card as a self employee". So this happened before I stepped out from the bank. This was the second unsuccesfull tryout.

At least I cleaned around the house and the garage, but here is still a lot of job to do. And balancing my official  unsuccesfulness, comforting myself I made this lunch:

It was as good how it seems. First dish cicken: soop with brown bread, main dish: pasta, meatballs, steamed bell pepper and apple and some salad kind green ala Peter. It was tasty.

Additionaly find and I applied for one more work in the internet. It's a worehouse worker position with 6 Pounds/hour 7 kilometers from here. Let's try. If they'd like me, tomorrow they'll call and I'll tell you, of course.

And i think i didn't show you my new bike repair set:

So there are a few things for what I can be happy.

Byby, sweet dreams and see you today!

Arrangings

What i earned today it was the phone card, what I'm using already. I'm still an orange contractor, but now from England: +447580 505 591. Kind of easy number. And this orange sim card with the "racoon" option charge 1 minute for 12 pence and 1 text message for also for12. Allthough it not gives any extra minutes or text messages, the basic price it's quite enough.

I tried to get a bank account as well, but i didn't succeded. I tred the Nationwide bank, but they only make me bank account if I'm here in the UK more then 6 months . So i had no chanche at that bank, but after I came home, find something interesting on the internet. It says, at the Lloyds bank I need just a passport to make an account. And additionaly they have the Silver Accont, what gives some car/travel/phone insurance - but it working just if I'm more then six months here. But anyway, a Classic Account it would be great for me. I have to check it tomorrow if it's really working like this.

So these was the achievements of the day. But now I have new things to do for tomorrow. And yes, besides the achievements I had this dinner:
And it worth to be realized that as long as we are in the same place as many keys we have. So I show you, where am I standing now:
Three. Yes it's three, no more. Maybe day by day, month by month it will grow bigger and bigger. And how fast it's doing it as fas I will feel myself more and more comfortable in this place.

And did I show you the bedding what I just bought? Here you go:
100 Euro. I think it wasn't not even too expensive. It's true i got a parking fee for it. Maybe it worth it.

So now just go to bed and enjoy your linen, just like me. What else should I enjoy at that time?

Beybey!

Expectations

I didn't make real too much things today. Better say I just make a lot of expectations about the future. Like making a bank card with a bank account, choosing mobile network provider, buy card from them, end expecting to hear things what gonna make me happy.

But what I did today except the expections?
Searching long and long hours for job and for the necessary things which are needed for getting one. The view is not so bright, but this is just the first day, so.
And beside this I cleaned the long-time-no-deep-cleaned kitchen, arranged the garage a littlebit and discovered the area. Not too much useful things but let's give some respect to the sun's day as well.

And take a look to my nice car, how he's sleeping in the chilling air:
(picture just later 'cause my camera and laptop have some conflict. better let them resolve it)


And what do you think about secrets. Are we able to forget them? Or they will be always there underconsciousness. I think we can forget them even if just for a while. Do somebody have some example...

But after that how good is to remind them.

Remind for a good night and dream safe!

...and who is this guy still checking the job offers in the mirror. i mean on the internet:
I don't know, who is this, 'cause Peter is already dreaming.

Final checkpoint

So now I'm writing from Southampton. More particulary: Kingsley road 75. And the upper level of the house.
But how did it happen that I'm here? It was like this:
Farry ticket already ordered for 29 Euros...

...so esterday night around 7 o' clock I set in my Seat and pushed the gas towards the La Manche channel.
When aproaching the port, I saw a sight what is really rare to see: there was no moon or sun, but the clouds clould be visible... even with low quality photo camera:
Probably because of the planty lights of the docks.

It took five hours to arrive there so even before 1 AM I was at the dock, waiting in the car line to get on the farry. So i was there two hours before the check in. I saw some movies from the laptop, bite some candies listen some music just to make the time to pass faster.

After one hour I felt sleepy so I lean to the window and felt asleep. My next memory it was that I heard a horn from beside me. I scared up from dreams and realized that I'm the only one standing there with the car, everybody else is already on the ferry. It was 3:45, and the Farry departed at 4.
So it happened like this I almost missed the farry even if I arrived 3 hours before.

After this a long 3 hours came and I could try how is driving in the left side. It was all right, did just one time to face a car in the right lane. Weird but can get used:

Anything else was all right.

Here's Dover at morning:
(Private humour: I'm on a horse... isn't it, Old Spice)

Arrived to Southampton, leave the car without asking ticket and run to change money. I survived without parking penalty, but it was too early to be happy 'cause of it.
Met with Simon, pay the rent, fill the contract, wish a good day, so everything was fine. After moved in I just realized I don't have any bedding and additionaly my laptop died because I didn't have adapter for this English, 3 phase plug.

Went to a hypermarket, bought bedding and adapter for 80 Pounds and back to the car. But alas! I didn't set my watch to UK time and I tought it's just passed 6 o' clock so the parking ticket is free. But actually it was just 5 o' clock. So meanwhile shoppping, I got a 25 Pounds penalty at 5:47 (13 minutes before the parking became free).

But finally I moved in and right now I gonna jump into my soft California-king-bed surrounded by new bedding ten thoulsand miles apart. I can do it already ;)

For some extra here I come with a late-afternoon-idyl from North France. I think, they're doing it perfect:
Let's copy them!

Mooood night!

And again

I don't like two-in-ones but I'm doing it again. And when? In the worst time: sleeping time. In the time, when I really would like to do something else.

Do I LIKE or do I HAVE to write theese entrys? Right now I feel that I HAVE to write, because I can not say that I have mood for writing. But can not say that when I decided that I'll write blog about my steps: I wouldn't like to be my steps written day by day. So that time I pretended that I will like it today as well. Or at least that I'd like it when it'll be done.
So who is that smart guy, who can tell me: do I LIKE to write my blog or do I HAVE to write my blog tonight.
Maybe I got the answer: once I liked to few weeks ago, now I have to. But when I'll finish it (maybe 30 more minutes), I'll be happy. So yes, now I'd like to be happy 'cause finishing my entry. Woooow, I made it so complicated.
But closing this meaningless theory I say I'd LIKE to, cause generally I can't do bad for myself even if I want to (cause if I want to, that's not bad anymore ;) ).
Congratulations if you had enough perseverance to understand it.

And let's get back to real life: yesterday I bought the phone ticket: cheap France to Europe phone calls. It was 10 Euro and I have 2000 minutes to Spain and 1200 to Italy and for England I don't know, but a lot as well.

So after I bought that, I searched after a lot of rent advertisement in several webpages and find around 25-30, what was nice and affordable. All around a renting price 250-350 Pounds/month.

After that I didn't call any one of them, just went to sleep.

But there comes today. First meanful thing: I called the most conveniable advert. It was a nice house, upper level nice room, looks like nice housemates, 290 Pounds for a month, all taxes included, so let's try. Called Simon, the landlord, who sounds like a nice guy. He ask some information about me, he liked it, i told him, if the room is already available, I'll stay there immedietaly, he said ok, so we set an appointment to Saturday 12 o'clock.
I ordered the tender ticket from Dunkerque to Dover to 4 AM at Saturday. We hope the best, I'll be there.

So theese are the meanful things what I did yesterday and today.

Interesting that how fast is the technology developing nowadays. Just an example. This is the flat where I'm almost sleeping writeing my blog now in Versailles - photo by google maps:
And this is a photo made by this Peter guy yesterday:
Not so big difference than few years ago. Isn't it?

Ok, now have a good sleep and finally I can join to you. Or better say I'de like to. But I even liked it one our ago so why I didn't do it? Cause I HAVE to write my blog?
WAIT!
I think, now I got the point: if I'd like to do both of them I have to make more efforts for them: like writing my blog earlyer. Yes! This is the answer: all of the things what I'm doing, I'd LIKE to do, just like this two: writing blog and joining for a good sleep. But to have the chance to make both of them I have to make efforts to make them in separate time: one before the other: blog before joining for a good sleep. Cause otherwise I have to sacrifite one for the other, just like now. Huh.

Wow you really making me understand myself better.

Now I join finally. By!

Two in one

...the title doesen't mean to represent those old gameboys, which had a "tetris" and a "snake" game in them, but to tell you that yesterday I didn't write my blog. So now I'm making up the leeway (got it? ;))

So whant happened?

After laying my head to sleep in Müncen, I planned that other day I gonna wake up, take a look of the famous Bayern-Müncen football team's arena and after that just heading to Strassbourg for a sleep. But the plan changed because of me the arena. I met with Larry, a Chineeze guy from the hostel so we started to find the Allianz-Arena (the official name) together. First of all we waste one hour because of me the GPS, cause it can not find the route to the arena (I took out the motorway option before, but the Arena could not be aproached just by highways, so...). But finally by asking and fallowing the road signs, whe found it.
What to say? Is was really big. So after finded the cheapest (5 Euro) parking place and wasting half an hour to find the entrance, finally we was "inside" in the side of the arena. Found some bistro we eat some breakfast, check some souvenirs in the Bayern-München shop and book an Arena-tour for ourselves. Yes, it was not in my schedule, but once i made so much efforts for finiding this place, I didn't feel sorry about that 10 additional Euros and one hour for the tour. And really I didn't regret it. We saw a lot of things, and heard a lot of interesting information about the theam, stadium and generally about football. So let's see some pictures:
And from inside (if i don't say you won't find out that it's not from outside...):
And what I bought from the souvenir shop?
So after finished touring in the Arena I said hello for Larry and started my way to Strassbourg. But meanwhile heading toward it, just find out, what should be if I skip one night and go straight to Versailles. I had 866 km 'till Versailles, so i choose this option. When I became tired, I slept for a while, where i was relaxed, I was driveing. And now, I'm here in the Rue des Missionaires 11, so I did it.

Meanwhile in the car in the middle of the night, after a lot of experimenting i made the best two night-time-pictures of my life 'til now:

It was a photographers-full-moon so I had to try it. I know, they are not so good, but is this mine or the camera's fault? Or both?

Watever. So tomorrow phone card buying, England calling, flat searching. If I'm lucky (and I am, yesorno?) I'll find some good in very short time.

More news tomorrow.

Sleep well, dream nice, wake calm.
