Omgosh I'm in London !
The train ride was pretty painless. My main concern about getting lost was trying to find Waterloo East station from Waterloo, cos I had to walk there to catch the connecting train. But pretty much the moment you get off the platform at Waterloo there's a massive WATERLOO EAST STATION sign that you can't miss, and the pedestrian corridor only goes to one place, you guessed it- Waterloo East Station.
For the week I will be staying with some relatives, Joo Chew and Rachel, who have kindly offered me a place to stay in their little one bedroom apartment.
I really haven't seen much of the place, got here at about 4 o'clock, then just sat and chatted with Rachel because I haven't met her before and it's nice to know who your hostess is.
Then I went to Tesco, which is just round the corner (yea that's right, round the corner. Not a 45 minute walk and bus away, like at Canford, or even a 10 minute bus trip down the road, like at home. I'm appreciating it already). So yeah. Tesco for some groceries for packed lunches and snacks for the week. Also I bought a cute little Tesco grocery bag. In Melbourne they have those ugly green ones, so no one wants to use them. Here they're smart about it, and make it somewhat fashionable, for not much extra cost, so people actually use them.
And now I'm just sitting on the couch. Rachel can't remember the wifi password so I'm waiting for Joo Chew to come home from work. Without the Internet, I have nothing. Except my phone, which has internet.
