How can I tell you all that happens when there is so much that i can't remember most of it? I have to choose a couple of events and tell those rather than everything that I have done since my last post.
My face has been slowly repairing itself over the last week and a bit, no thanks to my drinking and late nights. I'm feeling almost normal again because the bruising under my eyes has almost gone away and today I had my 6 stitches removed from between my eyes. I've put some more photos up so you can tell for yourself if it is improving. This photo is me right now in the internet cafe as I type this. I'm also feeling better because I got my hair cut yesterday and removed all my split ends. This was thanks to a lovely seattlite who is a hairdresser and offered to help me out. Then this morning I gave it a good shampoo and condition. So i think i'm the cleanest I've been for a while.
But the big event in the last 24/48 hours is an apartement. Oh yes. After a series of days of searching, countless phonecalls, and a few visits to some appartments, my new friend Oskar and I have found our place and today we finalised it. The appartment is in an old building on the Rue de Veille du Temple in the 3e arrondisement, right next to the Marais. The rooms are a little small and old but we have two separate bedrooms, a toilet and shower room, and a separate kitchen area. I will get photos up as soon as I can. We move there tomorrow.
So its a sad goodbye to the hostel which i have called my home for the last 3 weeks and the start of a new chapter in my trip. Now that my face has healed a bit I start tomorrow and especially wednesday to find a job, which I am in dire need of now that I'm paying a huge amount of monthly rent. I have made a heap of friends at the hostel, the best of which work there and I will endevour to stay friends with them in the future.
Tonight we are having an omelette for dinner so i better head off and get that going. I think a big bottle of nice champagne is in order as well. Keep in contact and check out the new photos.
