I had so much last minute stuff to do before leaving that I didn't go to bed until about 3am the night before I left Australia. I got up at 7 and continued to rush getting last minute things done. Li'l Sis and BIL came for a final visit at 7:30 and when I rang Engin (about my phone thing) and Optus about my mobile) I was hold a total of 1hr and 5 ( Read more... )

hehe, its okay.

I've always wanted to go oversea/ live overseas, travel and things got in the way- finishing highschool, finishing uni, having to work to get some money, then I went to Sydney (cause I couldn't afford to go just then), friends (who wanted to come, but kept pulling out), other friends who never wanted to go to the UK at all, but then suddenly when she gets a boyfriend- that's exactly what she does.

I was sick of waiting on other people, sick of putting off what I really wanted to do. I had a british passport sitting there doing nothing, so i figured- just DO it! Who cares if you're doing it on your own! It might even be good for you!

So I started looking into work in the area where my father used to live and it was terrible, I didn't really like the area and I felt like everything was being forced and didn't fit.

Hot tip - call the Lothian Buses hotline on 0131 5556363
Just tell them where you wanna go, where you are, and they'll tell you what bus to get. It's only for their own buses, but they are by far the biggest bus company in the 'burg.

If you need to buy any essential home equipment for your new place, check out the Edinburgh Bargain Store on Clerk Street. They sell pretty much anything you could want and cheaper than anywhere else in town.

Hope that helps..
