Day 19: Training wheels
I got up a little late and set off to view a house in an area called Footscray. I struggled with the train system as it was my first time and the signs and stuff aren't as straight forward as Korea's. I had to ask people and finally I got to the right stop. But then I couldn't find the actual house. Google maps showed the address in a big square so I went there. It turned out that the area was really new and so it wasn't showing up on maps yet.
The house was magnificent. It's fully furnished, tidy, good location, good price. If I took it, my room would have a flatscreen T.V., double bed, air conditioning. What a dream! But the landlord was an anus. He was quite young for a landlord and I'm pretty certain he's gay (for description purposes). He said things like, "If you want to bring anything into the lounge you have to get it approved by me first." He was also concerned about the noise I'd be making when I told him there might be a bit of noise when I do recordings and stuff.
From there I was meant to go to another place in Yarraville but because I struggled so much I had no time. I had to meet my Dad back in town because he'd lost his phone earlier in the day. He managed to borrow someone's phone to call me. He needed mine to make some urgent calls to people.
I helped him buy a new phone when I met up with him and then we got some Chinese for dinner. I talked to my Dad about the house I viewed earlier and he agreed that it was a good deal but also put forward the idea of me moving in with the family because they're going to have to sort a place soon anyway and it'd save me paying all that rent. It's definitely food for thought.
Peak: The excitement of seeing the place and the train rides (once I knew where I was going)
Pit: The heat and sizzling sun while I was trying to find the place
