i am now in spain due to the lack of accommodation in paris, however, it does not look much more promising in barcelona. looking at staying here for about a week but i will have to see as i only arrived today and have only got one night's accommodation guaranteed as of yet, however, have met a couple of guys - one in london and one in paris- the one in london is studying here so is renting an apartment for the month and the one in paris actually lives here full time-he comes back from paris on sunday so hopefully if i am super stuck he can help me out. anyway have to go on the hunt for somewhere to sleep.
