Thanks, pinksoil! That's great you've managed to get so good at using the bus. Where I live at the moment, it's actually more easy to use trains, but there won't be a train station near where I'll be staying at university so I can see why getting used to them early would be a good idea.

That's a very good idea! I'll have to see if there's something similar here. (Phone calls are actually another thing I'm scared of doing. Thanks for the suggestion, though.)

Oh, cool! I'm glad I chose that avatar, it seems to be bringing all the Duran Duran fans out.
