One can have a job, pay for food and/or rent, and live quite easily in this city, especially in the tourist season, however it's damn near impossible to save up enough for a plane ticket to any other continent. If I've learned anything from travelling, it's that you always need an extra backup amount of money, enough for a plane ticket and lodging while you wait for your flight. I had this, and then I was stupid and decided to pay first and last month's rent on a flat to live here. I'm thanking myself for screwing myself right now. Really, I am.
On a lighter note, my housemate had the night off work and when she got called in, said she was on a hot date, though her, me, and Logan went out to dinner and drinks. While pub-hopping, she ran into her boss and was busy stuffing her foot in her mouth while Logan and I made friends....Logan eventually went to try to rescue on her from her boss and I, happily sitting by myself with a beer, got hit on. Nothing unusual, as I'm absolutely drop dead gorgeous, but when we finally make our way out of the bar, Tamzin was telling us that the dude Logan and I were talking to (the guy who was disappointed that I had a boyfriend) was a movie star. Who, I'm still not sure - some guy named Rufus Sewell who's in Dark City, Bless the Child, some other bad movies, and is the villian in the upcoming Zorro 2, which I think they're filming part of in Prague. Cool. Jeannie got perved on by Stiffler, I got macked on by Rufus.
Actually, knowing, or at least hoping, that I'll be out of here some time in the near future, we've (we being me, Logan, and our flatmate Tamzin) been having a lot of fun on our days off. Logan finally got paid a few weeks ago so we still have enough to go out and enjoy ourselves here and there.
