When I was studying abroad, I lived in a temporary student dorm that was placed in an industrial district with a special permit from the government.

I tried to order a textbook online and my transaction got flagged as suspicious, so I had to call a support person, and he wasn't having it. - foreign credit card - address marked as non-residential area - sketchy email-address using their company name

Had to take the bus to a bookstore.
