Hi Tim..Unfortunatley Im in the UK at the moment..Back in around 6 months though (For good).
Well you have made up your mind to stay I see..
The only thing I can say is keep enough by to get a ticket out and to keep your visa straight.
One positive is that the experience you are gaining now is something most people will never discover in all of their lives.
Good luck and keep us updated!!
Fred.
