Today I need to do:
1) Open a US bank account. Which brings me neatly to...
2) Start apartment hunting. Without a bank account it's extremely difficult to get an apartment. However, it's very very difficult to be taken seriously when apartment hunting if you don't have...
3) A US cell phone number (that's mobile phone for you brits out there). Unless I buy a 'burner' (for those who didn't go through a recent addiction to The Wire, this is a phone with credit already on it. Useful if you need to find an apartment, or if you're selling drugs and don't want to have your phone line tapped)
4) However, I'm not I can even get to number 1 without a social security number (I certainly can't get paid without one)
Anyway, i'm going to head out to a bank to try and make things happen.
Here are some photos of my walk to work
The flat iron building and adjacent park. Very pretty in the snow, if very very cold. It got down to -7 last night, which made simply walking around very unpleasant.
