London still

August 28, 2008 - London, United Kingdom

Hello there fine chaps!

Only seven more days in London, only seven more days in Europe! Then we're off to Asia for three whole months :D How exciting!

And some more exciting news: Simon and I are both working full time at an organic food cafe in St Pancras International train station. We have jobs....woo hoo! It took a lot longer than we'd hoped and it's a shame we're not staying longer to earn some more money!

We had a funny experience applying at Macdonald's and in the end decided we already had full time work so we weren't going to push ourselves and work every other hour at Macdonald's which we were quite prepared to do right up until we found out the pay is about £4.60/hr for my age group and £5.50 for Simon's. Not worth it really. We were going to be working in London's Main store, the store that represents all other stores and has to look immaculate at all times. We're missing out on a potential career in the spot light so that's a shame hehe :)

What else? we haven't been to Buckingham Palace yet and I hope we have time to do all that before we leave next Thursday. However we did check out the markets in Camden town which I liked very much, lots of people sporting unique fashions including many, many punks!!! Simon and I are both inspired to be more daring with our style and try some of the cool fashions, I already own some cool love heart shaped glasses from London and I'm sure I'll be visiting the many piercing and tattoo parlours around the joint before we leave :-P We also went to: THE NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL! which was CA....RAZY! I heard there were at least 1 million people and that's probably a small do for London. I put up some pics of the carnival, there were loads of people in funky outfits and delicious multicultural food stalls. Enjoy and I look forward to writing more soon.

Hope you're well!

Love Kiea & Si xxx ooo
