Life in London



A week in London is a week like no other, you arrive tired and weary. Have a little sleep, recover and then head out to the tube, where people are not entirely inviting. Then you try to find the malls in your area, there are none however there are heaps of pubs everywhere.

Eventually you'll end up walking about aimlessly looking for the right shop, eventually you might find some stuff around town. Tired dazed and confused you'll navigate your way home on the closest tube station. The amount of people here just blows ya sox off, you can just look outside and there are at least 5 people wandering by in rush hours if not more. Now I have this book 'The rough guide to London', its really handy.

London feels like a big ole ant farm, this past week has been like orientation and yes I've got to know a few places. Seen a couple of flats, spent my fair share of time on Gumtree (website for Aussies/NZs/Saffas) and Jobserve.

Then there's been some social stuff to, going out drinking in Covent Garden a very cool place. Dwayne showed me a good time with Dan, we're looking at getting a place together, pretty scary :) Dan is a great guy and Dwayne well you all know Dwayne.

Oh, oh, oh and we watched the kiwi's vs the Saffa's very cool we won. Next week we play the Aussies I think, should be good hopefully we win again, time shall tell.



Well that's about it from me for now, nothing to specific very rough. Gonna catch with a few x-work colleagues later on in the week very cool. All in all things are working out well and the next few weeks ahead should be very relaxing.

Thankfully Josh and Jenny(Leons sister and brother in law) have been putting up with me this week they are the greatest. Jenny just did a huge fruit salad for dinner, very nice.

Here's some pics from the Imperial War Museum. Spent about three hours there, wasn't a big place but it was very interesting, it had a great holocaust exhibition, very cool but abit gruesome.

Yeah it's one crazy place hey! One of my favourite cities though....is cruel and unforgiving at times but also is so alive and electric. I love it!
Best of luck with the flat and job hunt, I know what that's like. It'll all fall into place though.
Take care :)
