I got a job a week after my arrival here in the UK and it's such a nice feeling when I checked my bank account and saw my first salary! It makes me feel more driven to work more hours hehe :smile: I tend to be reluctant when spending, though, 'cause I can't help converting the price of the stuff here to peso despite countless people telling me to NOT do it. Oh, well. :)
