Thanks everyone. Anthony you're right, nothing bad happened to me when I went out. It was quite uneventful actually. But no I didn't think about any of those facts you mentioned, I was very nervous, and mostly just thinking, "phew, I made it!" But those are very good points, I didn't get hurt, nothing bad happened, I don't have to hide. I'm obviously not as hideous looking as I thought I was either, because no one was staring at me, and the clerks in the shops were pleasant enough. And hey, when I asked for the book, they didn't ask me to repeat myself, so maybe my accent isn't that bad either!

Anyways I will think of those facts now, going to write them all down in my paper journal actually, thanks!
