Thanks for the info Michel, greatly apprieciated, but I can't afford to do any sight seeing this time around sadly, economic woes.
I'm pissed/depressed. I stayed an extra two weeks spent now with car repair spent a tonne for nothing. Stupid friend of mine decided nah she was going to skip the meeting and go visit an island and be her normal hippie self. Well good for her, her selfish action cancelled the meeting that was sooo important I couldn't miss they told me. f*ck they didn't even email me saying the meeting was canceled. Sooooo pissed, I'm at a loss for words.
