Big Adventures, Little World

It’s been a long time since I have wrote one of these but I thought that since I am now living in London that I should keep it up to date for all you back home and wherever in the world you may be!

So we made it to London on the 27th of April and since then we haven’t done too much yet apart from get accustomed to the ways of London and settle ourselves in to our new home. The house is really good and has most of the stuff we would need in here to keep us going. We have stocked our fridge and cupboard as well with a few trips to the Sainsbury’s and Tesco supermarkets, as well as picking up a few things for the house from a ridiculously cheap dept. store called Primark. It’s all actually quite cheap and between us all we are helping cook, clean and do the washing.

The area we are living in is Southfields, about a 20 minute tube ride out of Central London, and is right next to Wimbledon. There is a lot of parks around the area and only a few minutes walk to the local shops and tube station. There is also a lot of squirrels running around and birds that try to attack Dung, which is hysterical to watch!

Other than that we have just been looking for jobs. Kate has been doing some temp work and Dung has already landed herself a job in a bar not too far from home. I have applied for about 20 jobs the past week so hopefully something will come of that and I can start earning some money and get out and about traveling and seeing the sites.

We caught up with Terence and Aaron and their friends yesterday as they were in London for a couple of days before heading of on their Contiki tour. We went out to Camden where they have markets everywhere selling all kinds of things, and plenty of souvenir shops all up and down the streets. We stopped for lunch at a burger place which supposedly had the best burgers in London, 5 years in a row. While they were good, I don’t know if they were the best, but not having any other burgers from London to compare it to, I can’t be sure yet.

So that’s it so far, hope everyone else is well wherever you are! Keep me updated of what is happening in your parts of the world and hopefully speak to you soon or see you over here for a visit!
