Some pics of London

hello, been a while since my last post. last week i did write a massive one that finished contiki. it took forever to write and i had heaps of pics uploaded. then windows explorer crashed and i lost it all. i aint gonna do it again, ill post some pics up later buy at the moment it wont, but it will let me upload these.

some of you have asked me to upload pics of my place, i call it the 'hood.'

the place is an ex-council block. after ww2 there was a critical housing shortage due to the bombings, so the govt built all the units on bomb sites. at the time, speed was more important than aesthetics. this is the view from outside my flont door, we call the brick thing in the courtyard the 'ghetto stonehenge'. its actully a nice place inside, plenty of room. this is the loungeroom (my flatmate is ironing).

and this is part of my room, its so small i couldnt fit it in as i was against the wall, but i have a queen size bed :-) clean hey

this is my desk at work, i have a window which is cool, not a great view but i can open the window when i want.

this is my floor at work

and this is a pic of Natalie and my cousin Ashley who i stayed with when i first moved over. they live in Richmond and this pic was taken there along the river thames during a beautiful sunset a few weeks ago

i took this while waiting for callan at picadilly circus. as a meeting place, its the equivalent of hungry jack in queen st mall, everyone goes there.

this is callan at an infamous place called 'the church'. basically its a place antipodeans (aussies, kiwis and saffas) and backpackers go to get really hammered. it runs on sundays from 12pm to 4pm during the day. you have to queue early to get in, i was lined up with 4 beers in my hand at 1030am. callan got pretty hammered, peta's in the background.

and thats it for the moment. looking forward to the world cup in a few days!
