I arrive safely after a good journey. And town looks quite interesting. The people Lime Sting with seem very nice. But I must say I’m disappointed at my room. It’s terribly small and not well furnished. And the bed is narrow, hard and lumpy. And the room is dark, as there is only one small window and no view. There is no ware for me to study. Just a chair, but no table. I was pretty depressed when I sighted. It’s only for four weeks so. So I suppose I’ll just have to put up with it.
