London
I've been here over two weeks but haven't done much touristy stuff because I have been busy with the job hunting. I don't think I'll enjoy the constant interruption from the recruiters while strolling through museums/art gallery. It will be just as bad trying to receive a call in the middle of Picadilly Circus (not a real circus).
I am currently staying at friends' place in Chiswick, a rather leafy neighbourhood in west London. They've been living here for almost a year and - fortunately for me - they've been a superb localish guide for London. On my first weekend in London they took me to their regular Friday night dinner club. All 13 people in the table were Australian, from Sydney. This is awesome, doesn't matter where you are, a bit of home is always nearby :)
Last weekend was my first London tourist outing. We went to the Borough Market where I had my first taste of the English cider. The hip Leicester Square to watch The Devil Wears Prada which was quite entertaining. That's it, haven't really seen that much of London but I'm liking it already. Coming here I have a bit of a doubt whether I'm going to like it or not, or whether I want to stay longer than a year. We have to see, if I can handle the gloomy winter then I believe London has much to offer.
