Today heralds my one year anniversary of stepping onto England's shores.
I could harp on about how it's all gone by so quickly and how i found it tough at first but now love it and that i still miss my friends and family back home and what not, but that's a bit expected.
Random things i have done/seen in Londinium:
- In first week of arrival i saw two people in raccoon suits reading the paper in Covent Garden.
- In first month, went to see the Peter Pan statue and squee'd inside.
- Saw snow for the first time in my life.
- Embarked into an actual relationship to dwarf all previous competitors.
- Bought a t-shirt for £40... what was i thinking??
- Discovered the HSBC are soulless dreadlords of debt harvesting and are to be reviled and cursed for all time.
- Got all warm and fuzzy with nostalgia as i donned bandages, rags and copious amounts of fake blood.
- Got so drunk that i threw up (neatly into the toilet bowl), passed out in the toilet cubicle, woke up, threw up again, passed out again, then emerged from the toilet cubicle at 10:30am, lost drunk and bewildered at the strange glares of nightclub cleaners.
- Saw the one and only Sophie Ellis Bextor perform for a few brief minutes.
- Saw a washed up cast member of Mile High at the Virgin Megastore.
- Occasionally donned a Santa suit for my work... I'm a bartender, honest.
It's no buddy film with an Orangutan, but it'll do me.
