Anyway, finally arrived in London the next day at 6pm London time. Noticed that my bathroom isn't so much a bathroom as it is just a shower place wih a curtain in an indentation on the wall, room is also smaller than I thought it'd be. Too tired to care then. I had this great idea of joining the welcome party at 8.30pm that night despite not having a decent sleep for nearly 20 hours - big mistake. Left the party early as I was feeling too lethargic and ended up taking 1 hour to get home because I didn't know the way back to college (as opposed to 20 mins if you know your way). Oh, just in case anyone is curious what my room looks like:
I'll upload the rest of the pics up on Facebook.
The day after I head down the local grocery store to buy essentials. Turned out I forgot to buy salt, sugar, dishwashing liquid so I end up having to make multiple trips. Luckily the local grocery store is fairly close by. I was lucky enough to be in a good area (Notting Hill for those familiar with London). Chinese market close-by means I can quickly get essentials such as soy sauce, chilli, mi goreng, and bok choy.
After a week now I've finally settled into the new lifestyle. Been sight-seeing a bit and started uni which I'll blog about next time. I'm starting to get used to the rain (although the past 3 days have actually been sunny), the sea of buildings, exorbitantly expensive dining, and explaining to poms that we in Australia don't drink Fosters on tap.
Tomorrow morning I'm going to head down Oxford Circus to find All Souls Church. My first step to find a home-church here in London.
