John and I went back to campus this morning to talk to the bank, Barclays. We now have a bank account, which means we are one step closer to getting a flat! Another stupid American moment: when John handed back the forms he filled out, the young man who was helping us looked confusedly at the phone number. He said, "Is this supposed to be a mobile number? Mobile numbers all start with 077." We got a pay as you go cell phone last Saturday and still haven't learned our number. When we talked to one of the rental agencies a few days ago we called the agent's cell phone to give her our number and she kindly read it back to us so we could write it down. Unfortunately, the page John wrote the number down on, also has other phone numbers on it and no notation as to whose numbers they are. We have been referenceing this page when giving out our number ever since then, but we have been giving out the wrong one! We gave it to another rental agency yesterday and were wondering why they never called us back!
Later on in the day we walked around town again. Our objective was to see Origins, a place in the Forum with interactive displays of Norwich's history. Unfortunately, part of the Forum is being rennovated and so Origins isn't there right now.
Here are some more sights from the city center area:

Sarah! I've been reading your blog and I'm happy that you seem to be doing quite well. I hope that once you get the number thing sorted out, you get a place to live.
Thank you for the picture of the toilet.
I love you and miss you and hope to talk to you soon.
