....unfortunately, I nave neither right now - I'm still living in temporary housing arranged by my employer, and while I definitely appreciate not having to pay for my accomodations right no0w, I cannot wait to get back into a place I can call "home". Fortunately, I have applied for an apartment and with some luck, I should get approved by Monday or Tuesday.
Even though I went through the exact same experience when I moved to the US 8 years ago, I had completely forgotten how many of the daily comforts we enjoy in the "western" world are contingent on having a permanent address - the ability to get decent TV channels (Hotel TV channels are bearable, but nowhere near decent), a personal cell/mobile phone, a car that is not a rental, not to mention cheap Internet-access, all those require some "proof-of-address", or, in other words, a utility bill.
Well, hopefully, after next week, I'll have my own place again, and can start to get back all those little amenities we all depend on far more than most of us are willing to admit...
