My photo adventures!
Right, this is how it went:
I live about 20 minutes by bus outside of the town I study in, I usually buy a bus card since I commute everyday. This year the bus company raised the rates but also introduced a student discount, which was lucky for me (I thought). From where I live to the town in which my Uni lies, I travel through 3 zones, but the student discount began at 4 zones. I decided to buy a 6 zone card, since the difference in price is so small (20 SEK or just above 2 USD). The day before yesterday I was so set on buying, so after my lecture I went downtown to buy the card, only to find out I needed a photo.
No worries! I thought, I needed to renew my ID anyway, so I had to take a photo eventually. There are three photobooths downtown. The first
was one minute away...it was broken. The next one I went to is at the station, but it only accepted coins so went to the third booth instead. It's inside the same building as a big grocery store, but I had to go in the store to exchange money, since it only accepted coins. When I finally was done, I discovered that an employee had put up a sign that said, you guessed it, BROKEN! So I went back to the station. Although that one looked like it worked, as soon I touched the screen to begin it said: systems busy, try again in one minute! After ten minutes of that I got frustrated and went home. I spent 2 hours on that!
Next day (yesterday): Went to the store, the booth was gone! Went to the station, discovered I had forgotten my coins at home and didn't want to spend time on exchanging money again so I went to the first one, although unluckily it only accepted cards, and I didn't have any money on it....so again I went home frustrated......
*sigh*
