I have just had a call back from a job offering me a position - so I'm a bit happy at the moment! It means I can now start spending money again! I've been quite restrained really. So far I have only made a few small, tiny and insignificant purchases including hair straighteners, a hair dryer and a mobile phone!
I am going in for some training next week and then I start the week after.
That's not bad is it? I've only been in the country two and a half weeks. :-)
Oh yes, one other thing. I heard someone announce the time earlier and they said 'It is twenty before nine' !!!!!
Such a strange country.

I agree that "20 before nine" is odd. Was it an older person? I would just say either eight forty, or cheat and say "a quarter till nine."
What would you say?
I was being a geek just now and went and looked "quarter till" up, and it's kind of funny how many options here are...
