I get free internet and cable with my rent. They're really gouging me for $450 per month. I do have to share a kitchen, but I get a private bedroom and bathroom, as well as washer/dryer in the unit and most appliances. I haven't hooked up the cable yet, but I noticed that the internet only gets about 700kbps download, but almost 3000kbps upload. Anyone know why it's like that?
Anyhow, everywhere I turn I'm pleasantly surprised by the prices around here. Even the sales tax is only about 1/2 of what it was in California. I just wish they'd do something about the humidity. It's not as bad as I experience around St. Louis and Kansas City on my drive over, but I'm definitely drenched after moving my stuff in. I guess the difference is that I got drenched in the Midwest just standing around pumping gas, but here it takes a little hard work before I'm totally soaked. I already miss the climate of the bay...
I'm looking forward to hearing from people all around the country and world as they get started in the near future.
