ketchup!!

on the 23rd of January, snow decided to fall upon Lyon, just when i decided it was time to forget about winter and be merry and all that. sucky pic of what was going on around 10 pm:
ketchup, Lyon!! get it?! ah, watch Pulp fiction...

anyway, more juicy stuff about the bank (fortunately they didn't manage to do something to me lately, so they mess with my friends now)
there was a possibility of opening a savings account on opening the normal account, which i applied for. i was supposed to get 20 euros out of it, but of course they didn't open any account and no money was received.
a friend of mine did manage to get them to open the savings account, and she put 300euros on it, and let them to rest for 4 months. now, needing them, my friend wanted to transfer them to the other account. and then! surprise!! no savings account was opened in her name and of course no trace of the money... and they sent her a secret code for a card she didn't ask for and which she never received...
after long discussions and waiting and stress and all those nice feelings that the bank inspires you, they admitted to having misplaced the money. the sum was returned, of course with no interest and of course without the 20 euros promised for the opening of the account and the promotional gift. of course.
for another friend of mine they misplaced the money she had just put on her card, about 150 euros.
i have an appointment to close my account. can't wait, of course.


and some more juicy stuff about the residence:
on my last day here, they need to verify that my room is in order and that everything is ok with it. afterwards, they are supposed to give me back the guarantee i paid ( one extra month), and i'm supposed to give them the key.
the thing is, on the day they appointed me to be checked, the office is closed, so no possibility of getting the money. of course, i need to give the key back or else i pay another month, but of course i can't stay longer in the room. of course, they told me that i will give the key back and they will give me the money afterwards, and i said no way. the old hag i've talked about in earlier posts replied in a candid manner:
"What, don't you trust the administration?"

what a joke!
