don’t judge a book by its cover

We thought that our bad luck has finished and now everything will start to be easy and enjoyable. We couldn’t be more mistaken. We unpacked our suitcases ate nice meal on our balcony and start sorting things out. First we find out there is no internet that we could use within the flat. How could Mark work as computer scientist without internet? It’s impossible! It took us almost a month to sort this thing out.
Second Mark was still without a job and we both knew that if he won’t find something as soon as possible we will start having financial problems.
Third, people at my course are like small rats running in a race. They pretend to be cool and go out from time to time, but they spend unbelievable hours in library. It’s like complete opposite to what I had on my undergraduate studies. I remember when we were sitting together and learning together just to speed things up and have more time for enjoyable things. Here it’s impossible! They will answer your question if you ask them but there is no way that someone who is good in particular subject will simply teach group of others. Thanks God they have sense of humour otherwise this cultural experience would be unbearable.
So once again when everything looked nice it turns out it’s only the first impression.

Fortunately good days started week after. Mark got a job! It’s IT and design so thing he always liked to do, the salary is good, so we were so happy. I also managed to settled on the university, so it was about time to see Paris.
