Just like a jigsaw puzzle, my life here in London is slowly coming together. In the short time I've been here I have moved into my new home, sold my car, opened a bank account and am getting regular work and earning those pounds. I am on my way to becoming a London-er.
It feels weird to think of what my life back home in Australia was like. One of the obvious things is the weather. I have left a place of shorts, thongs and singlets to a place where layers are required on a daily basis. The only time I wear shorts and T-Shirts are indoors where the house is centrally heated 24/7. Still, I have always been a winter person, and I think this climate suits me.
Another thing I like about London is how central it is. In a few short hours you can be in Spain, Paris, Rome and so many more places. I am going to make the most of my time here and will try to see as much as I can. So far, I have booked a trip to Geneva, Dublin and a big European trip during July and August. Egypt and Turkey are at the back of my mind. London also has a history that is still beyond my imagination. Every corner you take, every building you see, has such a history to it and you can't but be amazed by it. I can just see myself in Big Ben on a weekly basis with a cappuccino in my hand. London also has a fantastic transport system and really there is no need for me to have a car here.
Life here in London is truly amazing. I can say without a doubt that this is the best thing I have done in my life.

Glad to hear all is well. I knew it would be and that you would have no regrets once you gave yourself time to settle in. You've done heaps in a few short weeks, now it is time to explore further afield. Get out into the beautifully amazing British countryside and get that photo finger working overtime! Lots to see and it's not even spring yet! You've nearly survived a harsh London winter- well done!
Sounds like you have had an awesome start to your London experience. Well done. Where are you working? How have you found it.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Turkey. It was the last place I went to and I am desperate to get back.
