Day 3 in London - I have US, CDN, EURO, Krone and GBP Currency on my person.

So, where do I live?
I can now confidently answer - London, England.

I moved into a flat today - it's nearby Canary Wharf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Wharf), with great views of the River Thames.

How did I get here? Well, I live with my friend Carolyn, who I've known for 7 years. She moved here for graduate school and currently lives here for the time being. Her room mate moved out at the end of the month, and I took over. Timing was definitely on my side with this one.

So far so good, the trek to England went smoothly, even with a weird stop over in Iceland. At least I can say I've been to Iceland (specifically Kevlavik Airport only).

For the past two days, I've just been enjoying the days, met some great friends already, thru Bunac (Pronounced Byoonack: http://www.bunac.org) who are here doing the same thing, wanting to work and travel and forget about their old lives for a while. I thank my lucky stars that I'm not as shy as I once was, otherwise I don't think this trip would be any good for me. I love meeting new people, making friends and sharing experiences. The only reason that I am where I am right now is because of the amazing people in my life who look out for me. I mean, really? Day 3 and I already have a place to live, with someone I know in a sweet area of London. Some of the friends I've met are still looking.

I haven't done much touristy-stuff, other than see Covent Garden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covent_Garden) and Piccadilly Circus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccadilly_Circus), but I'm sure that'll change once I have a job and am more settled.

I'm also a bit more familiar with the tube (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground) here. Definitely more challenging than the ones back home.

Til then, here are some pictures I've taken. I'll keep you posted.
