So London is Pretty Sweet

God it's been so long since I made a post on this site! I'm blaming that on the majority fact that I didn't have access to reliable internet for some time, and the other fact that I haven't exactly been home or available to sit in front of my computer and type something up.

In case you're wondering - everything is excellent.

So, London is an amazing city when you have friends to see it with. It's quite expensive to do things normally (as in, you can't really go out and splurge on food like we do in Sydney, since it all adds up and costs a fortune), but if you know where to go, and know where to eat, then it's a city that has immense amounts of options to offer. I'm still finding little bits of London I haven't seen before and am still being surprised by how large this city is compared to Sydney.

Just so you know, I have moved home again, and am living with Peter in a sharehouse in Kilburn Park (North West London). It's about 5min walk to Abbey Road (The Beattles), and a 20min bus ride to Wembley Stadium (which looks fantastic by the way). It's also 14min to Oxford Circus (where I work - in the middle of London) by Tube without any transfers which is EXCELLENT.

Not TOO much has been happening that will really make you guys WOW, except maybe I visited Stonehenge and Bath. Pics are being uploaded as I type this, so the gallery will be the next post. Amazing trip, Stonehenge is incredible to see in real life, and it is actually quite big. I might visit again in Summer, when they open the entire site to the public - I also hear they have parties and raves inside the centre of Stonehenge which would be EPIC.

Have been working for the past 3 weeks or so at Hamleys as well which is fantastic. I can't believe I'm happy going to work, and enjoying my day. I wake up in the morning and smile that I've got a shift, it feels weird. As Aaron has put it, I'm a happiness consultant on the 2nd Floor (Pre School) which is really cool - I haven't interacted with a baby in a long time, and I forgot how cute they are when they smile or laugh - it really brings a smile to the face. The people I work with are all awesome too, which is cool, and I'm getting along extremely well with everyone, including all my managers and supervisors. Christmas shopping will start happening more now, since the lights have been turned on and the front window displays now reflect that time of year. 10,000 people come into the store on weeks before Christmas, I hear this number pretty much quadruples during the Christmas rush, which I'm excited to see. I'll let you guys know how it goes! lol.

So yeah, that's pretty much it for now, I'll try and keep this updated more often, now that I have a little bit more time and have started to go out a little bit less (saving money for trips and stuff). In the meantime, anyone wanna send me a care package with cans of Spam, 2 Minute Noodles and Twisties? @_@
