Next Issue-----Air Tickets

I have been looking at the prices of the tickets available of different air lines. Of all the available options, I am tilting more towards the Lufthansa cause the time it lands at Toronto suits me perfectly to take the coach Canada to Kingston.

More over, there is not much to chose between British Airways and Lufthansa in the price wise difference.

I am not liking to fly Air India cause of many reviews of the people who travelled on Air India.

I do hope that I would be getting the same lowest fare for Lufthansa on the 3rd March (date I am looking to book the flight)

Next thing to Sort out

I have been, during the time I had applied for Visa, scouting for a decent apartment at Kingston.
The search of the house hinged on two most important priorities.
1) Distance from the house to the Goodes Hall (where our classes will be held) should be the minimum.
2) The house should have Laundry available.

I am quite happy that I have been successful (with the help of my friend of course) at locating a house that is just more than perfect for me and my two other room mates to stay. It is just 2 min of walk to the Goodes Hall (may be 300-400 meters), and second is that it has Laundry facility also (though shared with the house owner), plus it comes in as a furnished one (so we will not need to spend any penny on furnishing the house).

Now the point is that I have to make a payment to book this house. I will be speaking with the owner of the house to see what can be arranged.

Update after a long time

I had run into a brief problem with my Visa, which was issued to me with an expiry date of Feb 2008 while my course end date is May 2008. I had to re-approach the VFS folks to get this corrected. Now it stands till the course end date and not usual 3 months of extra time of stay in Canada. Lookslike the officer who handled my case was very strict to the end dates of the course or did I goof up in my application somewhere. God or the officer only knows and I have no means to know this or argue with the officer to give me another 3 months of stay.

At least with this date, I can now complete my course and head back to my country.
