So I have something to tell you that may shock you. You know that British stereotype that they're cold and unkind to new people from other countries....completely false! They are amazingly nice here, like I don't understand. It's as if I'm in like another dimension. First off, my landlord's amazingly nice (and hot, I'm not even lying mom saw him. I for some reason pictured my landlord being some old cat lady, but no it's a hot man score.) He's been helping me out, getting stuff done around my flat for me, give me tips and information about city and area where to go and where not to go.
The next thing that's wicked is that my neighbour above me, this Polish guy, gave me his passcode to use his internet for dirty cheap seeing as how I would've had to have payed like over £200 for internet to be installed in my place. So now I have internet in my flat!
Another amazingly nice thing, my landlord's father came down today just to see how I was doing and if everything was going okay. We got to talking about getting a job and school and such. Turns out him and his wife have a hobby of going to restaraunts every weekend in different parts of the country. Like they'll take the train up, rent a hotel room, and just go to a restaraunt! So he knows every restaraunt in Plymouth and the people that own them so next weekend him, his wife, and Ben (my landlord) are going to take me around to different restaraunts to meet the people and see which one I like best then talk to them about giving me a job! Also when we were standing outside talking, I was asking about the rubbish collection because I hadn't received the bags yet (you have to put your garbage in this brown re-usable bag and your recycling in a black one - stupid) anyways, my neighbour to the right of my flat was outside and overheard our conversation and said I could put my rubbish in her bags if I don't get them by Tuesday, and then invited me over for Sunday Roast Beef Dinner, so I'm going over there in a few hours!
Would this ever happen in Canada? I have no idea. They just really love Canadians here, like it's insane. So I'm off now to go buy some wine or something for dinner, I don't know if they'll drink it but whatever I'm just trying to be nice as per usual!
Morgan
(Oh also, apparently there's this huge park down the street from me which I just thought was the Navy Yard, my landlord's dad said it's a beautiful view so I'm going to go down there also and take some pictures. I'll post them up either later today or tomorrow!)
