Home Sweet Home

Kia Ora!
Well, almost home sweet home. We have found somewhere to live... but I do have a few comments to make about the process of flat hunting in London...
1. Real Estate agents (mostly) suck. Really. You go into their offices and ask about finding a flat, they say "well, we don't have anything like what you are looking for, but register with us and we will get back to you." So, you do. And do any of them call back???? hmm, no... (except for the one we went with who was pretty damn good!)
2. Being "referenced". A process that involves a 3rd party company to look into your backround and make sure you are okay. Good idea, you say. Yes. Until the real estate agent tells you that it is going to cost you £95 EACH!!! (then you go to another one and they say it will only cost £20 each) still...

But, never mind... we have one! yah! Sorry about the rant.

On a brighter note, we have been having fun :)
Caught up with Aimee while she was here, had a good curry and a coffee and a good goss session about band. Hehehe... :)
And yesterday we went to the Tate Modern with Hannah to go and see the Dali and Film exhibit. VERY COOL!!!!!! First time I have ever seen real Dali's and it was gooood!
Then wandered through the Regent street carnival, or I should say, tried to wander through the Regent street carnival... sooooooo many people! Great Indian festival though, esp. the Indian Pipe band in kilts.
After that, we had our first experience of bangers and mash. Quite tasty. I enjoyed.

Anyways, yeah, should try and put some more photos up soon, this internet place doesn't seem to have safe USB ports.

oh, and thanks for all the messages, we are feeling special :)
Love heaps.
