First day in LONDON!

Hi everyone! Well, it's the end of my first day here alone without May (boo hoo) - 20 Oct 2006. I thought I would make the inaugural blog update and show you some pictures of my first day here!

The first photo is of me in our small apartment - my bed is behind the sofa on the floor - it's only a one bedroom apartment and I am sharing with Adrian and Soo (who May and I will eventually be sharing an apartment with throughout our stay in London - to save COSTS!!!).

We did some administration today (eg. setting up bank accounts etc) - which is where i took the second and third pictures - Regent Street - very nice street with lots of old buildings - May likes old buildings. In the third picture is Adrian and Soo with Piccidilly Circus (in the background) - famous place with NEON sign boards!!

The last two photos were taken later this afternoon in Angel. Angel is a very nice place - it has a very cosmopolitan feel to it. We are thinking of renting a place there - rents are reasonable and it is conveniently located close to the city where May will be working. In fact, she can take a quick bus down one of the major roads and she will be at her work!

Well, that's all for now - getting very tired - jet lag is setting in. Tomorrow we are spending the whole day in Angel to get a feel for the place on a Saturday and will also be staying there to late to get a feel of how safe it will be at night. Until the next post - bye!!!
