The first weekend

The first night wasn't that great, we had no bedlinen.
After having checked out the south area around our house on friday, we tried the city center on saturday. Chris and me went north, along the Ormeau Street to the Victory Square Shopping Center, this one is really big and very new. There are many expensive shops, for example an Apple Store and different fashion stores.
Finally we found what we were looking for, a mobile store from Vodafone and O2. Because we have no internet at home, we needed to get some 3G USB Modem. We already got some information about Three, another mobile provider here, and now we wanted to checkout the tariffs of the others. We grabbed some product sheets and walked a bit around the city centre and returned home to check the deals ;)
At the later afternoon we returned with the others to buy the 3G Modems, we decided to get some "Pay as you Go" from O2. After that we searched some outdoor store, to buy 2 sleeping bags and solving our problem with the missing bedlinen.
We went home and bought 3GB traffic for 15 Pound and startet chatting and browsing :) At the evening we watched the Germany vs. Uruguay game at TV, some went to a pub to watch it there.
I totally forgot to mention, that we also bought some food on friday and saturday. It isn't as cheap as in Germany, but still affordable.
On sunday we explored the university and the area west to us and went shopping, yes the stores are opened every day the week, first to the city centre, because I was looking for some jacket, after that we went back home and stopped at a grocery store ;) and bought food again. At the evening we watched the World Cup Finale together.
