You have the option of paying each month individually.

Bus driver is seen as one of the worst jobs there is, and often employing first-generation immigrants. Also the buses are all run by private companies and not part of the public sector.

Average wage seems to be €2164 for a starting driver currently.

Funny - nearly ever taxi driver I see is a first-generation immigrant from somewhere like India, Pakistan or Bangladesh, but bus drivers are usually white British.

On the streets in the city centre, showing the old trams (left) with the new ones (right): http://acrossmanchester.co.uk/wp-con...trolink-01.jpg
The only trams that survive in Boston (and in San Francisco except maybe one case) are ones that run underground in or near downtown

Here it's the exact opposite.

I heard a loud banging, noise.. Sounded like someone broke into my apartment, I ran around like a wreck checking everything only to discover it was a sound in a dream.

I've only had this a few other times. It's terrifying every time..
One night in 2013 I was startled awake by a bang that seemed like a gunshot. Nobody else in the house heard anything. I haven't experienced that again, so it's possible that it was something in the room like an object falling. But like you said, it caused panic immediately - so much that I couldn't go back to sleep again (it happened around 5 AM).

There have also been a few times when I was falling asleep and had a hypnic jerk accompanied by the sound of a voice shouting for a split second. Quite weird.

"In North America large-headed gray aliens predominate, while in Britain abduction aliens are usually tall, blond, and Nordic, and South America tends toward more bizarre creatures, including hairy monsters."

OMG! The aliens are everywhere and comes from many star systems! But they all still are interested in your anus!

Omg they have a park in Colonia that is made up of pure JACARANDAS! They should have some kind of jacaranda forest, where you go in and there are jacarandas as far as the eye can see, that would look breathtaking in November!

The female who keeps flaking on me and wants to meet up with me just liked my fb profile photo and she isn't even friends with me.

I seriously don't understand her and cannot fathom what she wants. Sometimes I think she does all this stuff to me and then sits up in her room laughing her head off at my stupidity.

I'm just going to continue to ignore her.
