Okay, today i went room hunting. The room that was first advertised, was taken. But, apparently a room is opening next month (feb), around the middle of the month. Had a look, and was shown a similar room. Immediately took it, gave a deposit and signed the papers. not too far from where i am now, and still close to town.
View from the owners place towards the rooms. There are 8 rooms in total, with 4 on each floor.
Bed is to the right, and bathroom to the back. Will get a gas stove for $12. gas canisters are 0.25 cent each, and are refillable, last about 4 days.
Not bad for $80 a month
I also then decided to upgrade my room that i am currently in, and extended the stay here until the permanent room is available.

All in all, in one day i have found a room for permanent stay, know where to get food and toiletries, know where the banks are, found a place to renew my visa, and can get a new standard bicycle for $30, or a mountain bike for $130. I have also managed to get my cell phone set up, and got internet on my iPad mini, that i can make a hotspot for, for all my other devices. I think i will call it a day.
