oot and aboot.

It's been a few days since the last post, but it's still been eventful. On Saturday, Lou and I went out to Harrod's. It was craziness. We had some pizza at the pizzeria in Harrod's and it was awesome. They guys working there were actually from Italy and the one would just randomly start spouting off opera while he made your pizza. Harrod's itself was mental because of two things: a) it was a Saturday and b) there was a sale and they never have sales. We then went over to a few shops on Oxford Street but to be quite honest, I couldn't wait to get out of there. The crowds were unlike anything I've seen and I've been to Disney at Christmas.

Later on in the evening Lou, Katie (her flatmate) and I went out for a night on the town. We went out to a club called Infernos in Clapham (a hop skip away from Tooting). Overall, it was a lot of fun. I met a few random people at the club and when told I was from Canada then began talking incessantly about Shania Twain. Who knew the English associated Canada with good ol' Shania?

Monday I ventured off to the City to meet Lou for lunch and get my bank account sorted. It was a stupid ordeal with the bank, but I managed to get an account! I then managed to (on foot mind you) find my way to Piccadilly Circus all by myself. This was a task I didn't know I could handle, but managed. Met Lou at Piccadilly for dinner and then the theatre. We grabbed dinner at TGIFriday's (funnily enough) and then went off to catch my first show ever; Avenue Q. It was brilliant. It was basically a spoof of Sesame Street but was only relevant to said show in the way that they used puppets. It was amazing. So funny.

Yesterday was rather uneventful, I wandered around Tooting for a bit and checked out some flats. Kim (another girl from Saskatchewan) is arriving here on Friday and we were planning on living together, but it's halted for now. We don't have UK references so any letting agent would require 6 months rent up front. And seeing as a flat goes for 1000 pounds a month, that's about 7000$ Canadian...each. So we're gonna wait til we land some jobs.

Today has been a lazy day, just chillin' out at the flat. It's been nice. Kim gets here on Friday so I'll pick her up from the airport so she's not as freaked out and alone. But for now, gonna go watch some BBC and probably head to bed!
