Like! Here’s a little something I learned the hard way: don’t buy books and electronics and other similar bulky items from home and carry them along with you to UK! There’s always Amazon.
I made the mistake of utilizing almost 10 precious kilos of my measly baggage allowance to bring with me books and pots and pans and a laptop. This in itself was the result of many many trips to book shops to find the books that were on the reading list provided to me, and much time and effort spent squeezing all of them along with the pans and laptop into my suitcase. And when I reached UK, I realise that not only had I (and some other equally paranoid international students like me) different editions of the books from those my classmates had, and pans that didn’t sit too well on the hob, but that I’d actually spent way more than was necessary! Quite a shame!
So the books and other material that I hadn’t been able to find back home, I ordered online from Amazon, and that was probably the best decision of my life. No hunting around thousands shops- there’s a search bar that makes life easy! Plus you can buy second hand stuff that is ridiculously cheap! Even the new stuff is often cheaper than what is available in a store! And the icing on the cake, ofcourse, is that you don’t have to budge an inch – it all arrives promptly at your doorstep! Ah technology.
So yes, once I’d discovered the joy of Amazon, there was no looking back.
So enamoured am I with it, that I’ve included a widget on this site, to make things easier for all of you. Look to your right! Search and shop – trust me, you’re going to love it!
