What influence did Portugal's colonies have on its cuisine other than spices?
For one, congratulations on your new job and consolations for having to live in Aberdeen for three months. I think £600 allowance/month for those three things will definitely keep you entertained, fed and transported. I think you are overestimating the cost of living in Britain, the further away from London/South East the cheaper it gets. That £600 will get you a long way; i hear pints of beer are still under £3 in some places...
Goodluck![]()
Sounds violent...Thanks!
So is Aberdeen boring? I've been to Scotland before, and even though I liked it a lot, I definetely wouldn't want to live there. Too grey, wet and cold. I'm hoping Aberdeen will have a cosmpolitan feel because of all the expats. Have you ever been there?
Well, if it does suck, at least I found 90 pounds fights to London, both ways.
How's the mosquito situation there?I actually haven't been to Aberdeen but it is a common joke in Britain that whenever someone mentions they are off to some obscure settlement some kind of disparaging comment is made. Yeah, we are a miserable bunch![]()
If you are only going for three months i hope for your sake its during the summer. The British summer is glorious, probably the best weather in the world at its peak. 20-30 Celcius temperature, a light cooling breeze, with the ideal humidity and light from 6am to 10:30 pm.
In my first apartment search, the prospective landlady was more concerned that A. Money wouldn't be a problem, as in would the rent be paid on time; B. That I paid all my pet fees (some places charge $250/pet non-refundable fees); C. That I didn't have a history of noisy parties, drug use, and trashing places - in other words, a criminal record check.When seeking an apartment, can you use your parent as a reference or is that not permitted? Without that reference, what are your options for selecting your first apartment? Keep trying and hope someone is willing to take a risk on you?

I passed with no difficulty at all. It might help you to ask the people you hope to rent from what they would prefer to accept, and start asking the people you know if they'd give you references.

By that, do you mean anyone that really knows me? I thought apartment references needed to be previous landlords.
The worst thing in the British summer are the Midges; i may be playing football, cycling or something outdoors and by the evening the midges come out and feast on you, its quite annoying![]()
