Our first 2 weeks

Hello All

WOW - its been amazing so far! Busy busy busy - looking for jobs and apartments as well as keeping up with the soccer (oh, blasphamy, its called football here). Kire my brother wont let me forget about any Arsenal game, plus its kinda hard to ignore match days here - the extra 60,000 people dont go by quietly.

At the moment Tomasz and I are staying in my brothers apartment. For all of those that know London, its in Islington. This is a rather nice peice of real estate in an area which is famous for being where Tony Blair used to live before he made his move to number 10 Downing St. The houses look like they are straight out of a movie with the tree lined streets sprouting with colour of new spring folage. Its absolutley beautiful - everyday when I leave the house i think...wow!

oh - Arsenal nearly scored....I heard the crowd then watched it live on TV. I know Vladimir is very jealous right now.

Been thinking about and missing everyone - and especially the Sydney sun! I find myself always thinking...I could really go for a cup of tea right now and it finally hit me why Brittish people love tea so much....its to fight off the cold bloody weather!

Must go, will write again soon,
