TV arrives today! My place is furnished, but there was no TV. My life is becoming better day by day. Still I don’t have Internet access. My current access is from an Internet café or a library. It’s not convenient, but better than nothing. It may take three weeks for getting Internet access at home…. I’ll call BT (British Telecom) tomorrow. I also need to call a water company and an electricity company. I can use the utility now, but I should let them know I started to use the utilities from Thursday. I’m not sure who will pay the fee before I started to live here.

I have to pay water, electricity, TV, and council tax besides house rent fee. I didn’t know about council tax, but it’s about 100 pounds per month. Payment for TV license is also mandatory. If I use BT broadband service, telephone fee and broadband fee are also necessary…
