We Got a Flat

Now, in the States, this might sound bad: picture us stranded on the highway. I'm talking about a flat tire. Lame. But here, getting a flat is great news. Maggie, Matt, and myself found a great flat, and we took it right then because property is flying right now. It' in Mile End, just a couple minutes walk from the Stepney Green tube station. It's big, has three bedrooms, a nice kitchen/bathroom, and a great common room. Also, there's a nice balcony, and we're on the top floor, so the view is cool. I'll put up pictures soon. We move in on Wednesday, and I cannot wait. I should have the Internet all the time then as well. That way, I'll stay in touch much more easily, which will be a great relief after this hit-and-run Internet use of the past ten days.

I start work this week; more exciting news. I can't wait. I also joined a gym, so now I can get back in shape and work out after work since it's really close to Jigsaw.

What else have I been up to? Well, a lot of wandering. London is great for just walking around. For example, yesterday I wandered around the South Bank. I breezed through the Tate Modern, had a crepe at Gabriel's Wharf, and watched the skaters skate. It was quite pleasant.


We've also been enjoying fun night life. Maggie, Matt, and I went to the Ghetto the other night. It was a special party called Nuke Them All. We got in free because Pennie (bartender/new friend) put us on the guest list. Lots of characters there, lots of dancing, and lots of photos. Here a couple:


I think that's all for now. Go to Stranger Behaviour for a lot more pictures. Next update will probably be on Wednesday. Then, I'll have moved into the flat and worked a few days.
