2nd Impressions

Well it's been over a week now and im beginning to tick a few of the boxes towards getting some work and a place to sleep. The most success has been found on the job front with just a few hassles left to overcome (police check from OZ). I've scored a bank account with HSBC over here so i can get paid and the Anzuk Teaching guys should have me in work Monday week. The biggest hassle has been finding a room, today I went to check out a place but the guy ended up coming 2 hours late. The house im pretty sure was a dealers house and had steel plate windows with holes drilled in it to allow the light in plus i later found out that the guy wasn't renting the house, he was squatting in it....kinda makes sense though considering how much of a dump it was. He also wanted me to pay him 85 pound/w in rent if i moved in, no thanks. So the house hunting continues, can't wait to find a niceish <100 pound/w place.

There has been some positives to come from the hunt, i've been able to vist the mosques and islamic centres in whitechapel, play spot the English person in Stepney Green and work out where i don't want to live, anyway the seach continues.....
