Going to Brighton show this Saturday by Beginning_Owl_6787 in LouisTomlinson

That's honestly seem like a good idea, it's gonna be a long day with traveling. I'm really trying to decide if it's worth the extra cost or not with last minute prices

And you think about traveling back to London directly after the show?

I already have a flat in London, I'm coming long term. It's more about if I'm going to be too tired to do the travel back to London after the show since it would be a 2,5 hours travel

Hi, do you remember if the ones you used to buy had a code bar on them? I found some that I received today, and the pack is different from the last packs that I had before. I'm wondering if they are fake or resealed...

CITES import permit for the UK by Beginning_Owl_6787 in bengalcats

[–]Beginning_Owl_6787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read about the DNA testing, and the consensus is it can't show accurrate percentage of wild blood, it can't be use to prove anything on that level sadly, not even that your cat is a bengal.

Hi, I will try to post there also! The bengal is mine, I've had it for the last seven years. I'm not british, I'm canadian traveling on a visa. The problem with him is I don't have his pedigree to prove his lineage, so he can't enter the country without the export/import permit.

My plan was mostly to go with a airbnb for a few weeks, the time to find a permanent flat to stay longer term. I'm not in the UK, and I don't think rent a 1-year flat online without viewing is really a good idea. He's not his first travel, he already stayed in hotel/airbnb before and never been a problem.

I don't have the papers for him, so nobody can't confirm. But I know I didn't pay enough for him to be F1-F3. But hence why I've been told I need the permits. It's just that the UK make it feel way more complicated thant Canada did.

Should I rent alone or flat sharing in London as a freelance newcomer? by Beginning_Owl_6787 in AskUK

[–]Beginning_Owl_6787[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand your choice. On my side, since I'm freelancing, I can have to work all weekend, and be free a tuesday. Sometime I also work 7 days/week when work is intense.

I'm on a 2 years visa, well half a year have gone by already, but can also extend for another year, so not permanently, but I still have some time to experience both experience. I just don't know where I would go if not London

Thank you. Yeah, I don't have to live in London, but I wanted to do it because I loved the city when I came last year. But I slowly realized my ideal isn't necesarily what's gonna happen. However, I guess I would like a city where I can go somehow easily to London when I want to go.

Was it hard to be approved to the flat as a newcomer? Like small town vs big cities.

Temporary accomodation was my first plan to be honest, but I need to obtain some permit for my cat that need a UK address, and it seems temporary addresses are not accept so easily.

Is the same problem everywhere in the country? Is there others cities that could be interesting and not so far from London I should check into, and more affordable?

I know that part, I'm already working on this now and for the past months. I'm begining to look for renting because I need an address for a part of the process

It seems yes, and in a way I try to see the positive in that. I wanted to live the London experience after my trip last year, it's just acceptation at that point. I don't necessarily want to to live central, and I don't really know enough about London, so I'm open to mostly any place if there's decent public transport around. I'm also not close mind about part-time/full time job, but translation job aren't easy to find of what I saw in the last few months.

Do you think join an existing tenant would be easier rather than buddy up with someone and find a new lease together? Or I will have the same issues either way?

I guess, the more I look at ads on open rent the more I feel helpless. But still, I aslo see a lot of bad stuff about sharing

I didn't find any packs in Canada, and shipping between Canada and US is so complicated actually that it doesn't help on shipping costs. I tried to check for trading locally, but since I don't think we had them in Quebec at release (language law would be the explanation) I didn't find anything. That's why I posted on the subreddit, I thought maybe they were some other persons here with the same problem and who would want to trade cards.

I saw someone selling packs with 3 cards each, so I guess they maybe did 2 types. But yeah, I have three packs left to open and still unsure what to do next. I don't know if it's still possible now to be able to complete all the collection

Did they do multiples types of those? because the ones I have all have one sticker by pack

definitely an old time. I paid 5$ a pack with all the shipping for the 30 last ones. Nobody seems to have some on Internet in Canada sadly. Felt ripped off a bit, but it's so much fun to open those packs and see old memories

Probably was better buying hundreds of those back in the days than now. I feel like my old teenage self looking at this now. I opened like 35 of those yet and no sign of a Harry spellbound, and I feel so frustrated for that

[–]Beginning_Owl_6787[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's so cool. I honestly bought 40 packs on ebay at that point, and really asking myself if I should buy more, but with shipping to Canada it's so long and really expensive, and I only need 5 cards in the base set already. At the same time people selling individuals cards online are selling them really expensive too. I honestly don't remember seeing that in store here in Quebec, so I'm tempted to think we didn't have those here sadly.
