Chapter 1: Arrival - The value of a good coat

I'm writing this from the bus back from the Social Security office. It's very cold and windy. My Social Security card is expected to arrive in about 2 weeks. 

The bus driver is undergoing some kind of a test, which is kinda interesting to follow. 

I checked Ikea online and they don't ship lamps, so I may have to go back there again, something I'd rather not do. I'll check for alternative shops. 

I woke up at 3 am again today, this time without the benefit of a fire alarm. It's probably jetlag or stress starting to build after the initial rush of the first two days.
