Appart'City: Our First Apartment

After we arrived in Amiens, France Jessica's mentor Amy drove us to our first temporary apartment at Appart'City. This is a chain that caters to either one night stays, like a hotel visit, all the way to long stays for months. It is very convenient and also brand new. I'm pretty sure we are the first people to stay in our room. It is a little small, but it has everything you may need and has a spectacular view. I have posted pictures of the apartment as well as the view in the photo section as well as some in this entry. After we put our stuff in our room we went to get some food, we had consisted on airline food up to this point and were starving. Our first meal consisted of Panini's and a sandwich. After we had satisfied our hunger we moved on to the cell phone store where we got our new and incredibly cheap phones and our pay as you go plans. Finally we went by a grocery store and grabbed a few necessity items and headed home.
On our first day here a few things really shocked me. First of all even with calculating the exchange rate groceries are cheap here we got 5 items for 5.69 Euro or 7.76 USD and it included toilet paper which usually costs that much alone back un the US. Also I noticed that you don't have to wait for the other part of the retail sale to come in and kick you in the back. For instance when we bought our cell phones there was no activation charges, no hidden costs we simply paid 19.99 Euro per phone then the 15 euro monthly prepaid card and went on our way. They even applied the minutes to the phones before we left. It was a great experience and it really helps me know we made the right decision to come here.
