It has been a week since I arrived, and now it is time to move on and explore other parts…Today was my last official day in London, with my apartment booking finishing up tomorrow. I spent the day with what I think was an appropriate mix of shops, parks and coffee! Of course being my [...]

London Underground

MIND THE GAP! I have heard this a few time today, as I used the underground day tripper ticket, to explore a few more areas of London. Job hunting…what job hunting….The temptation was too strong and I did submit my CV to a couple more online agencies this morning before I headed out. AND, there [...]

London Zoo

Took the day off job hunting, to give all the agencies a chance to start looking at my CV and headed out to the London Zoo for the day. Got the tube to Regents Park and then walked through the park to the zoo. Got there about 10:45, which seemed a good time, cause the queues [...]
Chicken or the egg

My first official day of job hunting today, and the thing that keeps popping to my head is the saying “which comes first, the chicken or the egg” This is not because I am hungry..although did coincidently have an egg sandwich for lunch today…but because of the whole do you find a job and then [...]
Oxford

Caught an 8:30 coach to Oxford today, for my National Insurance Interview. All went fine, no obvious issues with getting a number, my interviewer was nice and informative, but will have to wait 3-8 weeks for it to be issued. I can still try and find work, just like the Oz Tax File number really, [...]

Connected and Mobile!

I now have a Mobile Broadband connection, which I have set-up to access from my laptop, so I am back in the land of the internet connected. I have a nice “pay-as-you-go” option, so basically just purchased the mobile card for 50 pounds, 10 pounds of access and I’m off. OK, it took me a [...]

Today, I have been walking around and exploring. Started with a coffee at Starbucks! This was mainly to get a temporary rain relief. Yes, believe it or not, it is raining in London, on only my second day. I was prepared with coat and umbrella, but by the time I walked the 10mins into the [...]
Arrival – Saturday 24th May
Posted in Accommodation, London, Pimlico on May 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My first experience at an internet cafe, to make my first official post from London – Pimlico. Good little spot opposite Victoria station, that charges 1 pound per half hour, so likely to be back.
I arrived yesterday morning, very early in London after the 14hr haul from Singapore. Seated between two snorers, I was amazed [...]
