Argh! The tube is madness! And apparently there’s a terror alert. Yay.
So I’ve just finished my first week at work – which is enjoyable, and a great place to work, and I got the low-down on what they actually do today, so that was nice, and interesting! I’m Office Manager at MetaBroadcast. Next week we’re going ice skating on Monday!
I’ve started the flat hunt, which is overwhelming but I think I just need to get stuck in. I went and saw an awesome flat last week which had over 30 people walking through having a look – no idea how the tenants will choose someone. I’ve decided i want to live within walking distance to work, (so, within 45 minutes walking) and possibly might look at a bicycle. I want to live with lots of social people so I can make more UK friends. I don’t think this is unattainable! Hopefully.
It was warmer today and reminded me of NZ a lot. Actually the music being played all day at work was really nostalgic, almost unbearably so at some points. It’s weird how music and smells can evoke such strong memories.
So my new year’s resolution is to go to a new country every month. I think I’m going to have to count this first month as the UK, unless I make it to Paris at the end of the month, but with flathunting I don’t know if it’ll happen! But these destinations are on my list for the year:
Croatia, Greece (with Nana in June!), Paris, Lisbon, Bucharest, Hungary, Berlin, Istanbul, Copenhagen, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Edinburgh, Beirut!
Not a bad list. Just got to save lots of money now!
