Address and Phone Number

So I just figured I should post my Cambridge address and phone # here so that you all could get in touch with me if you needed to. My address is:

Nika Engberg
Darwin College
Silver Street
Cambridge
Cambridgeshire (not clear whether you have to put in this line or not -- probably optional)
CB3 9EU
ENGLAND
UNITED KINGDOM (you probably don't need both "England" and "United Kingdom" -- choose which one you want)

Technically, though, I'm living in here in "The Malting House," which is where the other Harvard kid who is both on my program and at Darwin is also living (and it's a small house -- only 11 or 12 rooms total, I think). The house is okay, but could be better. My room is kinda dark since it faces north -- Zeb would call it a "gamer's room."

About the phone number -- don't call my normal US cell phone. I'm not bothering keeping it on/charged up while I'm here, so I won't get your message. Instead, I have a UK cell phone. The number is 07546 580017, but to call it from the US, call 011 44 7546 580017. I don't have voicemail set up on it yet, but that's on the list of things to do. It will probably cost you a million dollars to call it, but that's a good way to get in touch with me. Additionally, once I have internet, I typically keep myself logged into Skype whenever the computer is on, so you can always find me as NikaThinks there.

Nika, did you see this?

Ooh, interesting Charlie. I just got a piece of paper talking about something like that today and I had no idea what it was going on about -- but now it makes more sense.

I think, though, that while it's all very interesting from a privacy standpoint, it won't actually affect me on this student visa. My impression is that my multi-entry student visa is valid until sometime in the fall of 2009 (forget exactly when), and it's only if I ask to extend it that I have to start worrying about that biometrics card. I think.
