Internet!!!!
Thats probably the only reason lol. Dorm's internet (particularly in Uni park) blocks bittorrent and any kind of file sharing web (ie rapidshare, mediafire) and that's infringement to one's access to information! lol
Now I'm in a house, freedom is mine. 50 mbps!!! (I'm so gonna laughing at this pathetic speed when I read this blog 10 years from now, lol)
50 seems extremely fast doesnt it. In fact it's not really that fast. Due to the unstability of virgin broadband network, the internet connection sometimes just sucks to the point i couldnt even open facebook. Other times of course includes downloading torrent at 2 mb/s.
TV is included in the broadband package. After a year in UK, i finally get to consume british media -_-" Fees of all these include the package fee (broadband + cable TV): 46/month
TV license fee: 140/year
Hi-def 32" Samsung TV: 320 pounds.
Next the cost of living is reduced dramatically when everything is shared. Last year, I spent at least 30 pounds every week for the groceries. Now the average cost for a week is only 25 or so. The best part is that when we order more than 100 pounds worth, Sainsbury deliver for free!!
Heck, now we don't even have to go out to shop for grocers lol. I mean right in front of your home. Even if it's not free, the deliver cost still outweighs our transportation cost anyway.
Oh, I almost forgot another best part. The faculty of engineering is now 5 minutes of walking away from my home.
The vids just show you around the house. I live on the ground floor. Jeed and Toey and the first floor (British convention). Meen on the third. House looks abit messier than recorded.
