I got an interview with Sydney Uni Medicine!!!!

Our Anniversary

2 years.... Thats right, its been two years now - who ever thought ay... :)

Below are some photos from our very happy dinner at a restaurant called Zilli Fish

We went there right after work, hence the work clothes. Ignore the fact that Mare looks like she is not wearing any pants.

We had the seafood platter for two mmmm sooo good.

Edinburgh, Scotland in Pictures

More stories and details coming soon, but for now some photos:
A beautiful monument to someone

Mare looking very historical on old Victoria Lane

Edinburgh Castle - it took our breath away from anywhere in the city
The inside of The Dome - an old bank turned restaurant

So... I have heard from some that I don't contribute enough to the website. Yes, admittably, Tomasz contributes alot more than I but I feel that I do my fair share by reading, enjoying and expereincing along with the rest of you. Well...in light of recent complaints - I am going to let you know whats happening in London from my perspective.

Well - for the ladies firstly - The fashion is incredible! Absolutley amazing. I have been drooling at all the different styles and combination of styles I have witnessed here. Ang, our flatmate has an indie/rock influence to her clothes which I think I have taken a liking to. There is such wealth in this town that everyone can afford to wear and do what they like. I always stare in disbelief when I walk down the road here at Mayfair and see people walking with about 10 massive bags from Gucci, Prada, Tiffany & Co. etc. WOW. Shoes seem to be a particular fettish for women here. My boss was telling me about her colour coordinated shoe wardrobe which she had to take the day off from work to organised. You can imagine the jealous look on face. I have a lack of shoes here - so I vicariously live through the shoes I see her in everyday. So far, I am yet to see a pair that I don't like on here - so I will continue to live through her wardrobe.

For the men - I was having a conversation with Tomasz about the women. There are people from all around the world here, who have come to get thier peice of the pie. With that there are beautiful, stunning looking women, all of your favourite looks - Latin, Spanish, Italian, Africa, Asian, Australian Eastern European etc. With that said - I have seen many women with whom I would term butter face - As in "She has a great body...but her face ". So, if you were to come here - expect to be suprised at the variety of beautiful (and not so beautiful) women.

I will write again in the not too distant future - be assured.
Love and Peace,
Mare

Amster-damn!

As in - 'damn thats a cool city!'

Mare fell in love with riding our bikes around the picturesque canals and the relaxed summery atmosphere of vondelpark. And this was before the bars and coffee shops.

Mare looooved the bikes!













Me - not so much. But these 'girly' looking bikes are the style in Amsterdam with litrerally thousands of them parked all around the place.
















This is an example of the bikes parked pretty much anywhere there is space to chain up a bike. In this instance its on a bridge crossing one of the canals. The houses in the background are also an example of the buildings around amsterdam. They are all thin, tall and go back really far. This is becase when they were built there was a tax on wide houses.












The beautiful canals.


















Then there were the others things that Amsterdam is know for. See the red light district was an interesting experience. It seemed like a bit of a freak show with the girls standing in the windows, the thousands of people and mainly guys.

Hello All,

I had a fantstic time too - loved the historical building and riding those fab bikes everywhere! We managed to squeeze in some time before we left to visit the Heiniken Museum which was pretty fun. 3 free beers included in the price - as you can imagine we left there pretty happy. Maybe we shouldn't have gone there straight after breakfast (hhhmm).

Would recommend this city as a "must do" for anyone travelling to Europe. Oh, and of course - if you're in Europe and you don't drop by our place I will personally kick you're arse!

Enjoy the photos - There will be more as we are off to Scotland this weekend for the Edinburgh Festival - Looking forward to it.

Lots of love from London,
Mare

PS: I promise that I am good at riding my bike!!! Here she is trying to ride with the Heineken Brewery in the back
