First Impressions

So as I was standing in the street while it snowed this afternoon, I got to wandering how in the hell we of all people ended up chasing an endless winter. I do have to admit that although we are freezing our arses off (and of course Anita is sick) London is a pretty amazing city. There are a lot of things that are done really well that (believe it or not) makes things quicker, easier and cheaper....it's been such a long time since I could say that! The Oyster card (for travelling on the tube, buses etc) is awesome and saves heaps and the method of recharging mobile phones is better in my opinion. I guess its not surpising given they've had more practice at being a big city.

To date we've spent most of our time looking for and at places to rent. They have all been ok, one has been nice (but no living room), but we think we have found a place that we really like based on photos....now we're just trying to get the girl to actually show us the place...seems straight forward enough....but you'd be wrong. Will hopefully have it sorted in the next day or so though. Stay tuned...

It's not because they have had more practice being a big city, it's just because it is run by poms and they are much smarter - haha just kidding!! :-)

Glad to hear you got there safely with no Qantas dramas, are enjoying yourselves and actually think the place is kind of OK!
