Hey all,
Been frantically busy in London - see why most people behave the way they do in a generally un-friendly manner. It's all go go go!!
Lovat and I are working at a restaurant in Trafulgar Sqaure called the Texan Embassy Cantina (Check it out at texanembassy.com). Sam decided to move down to Canterbury area to start looking for a proper make-up job. So for the next few weeks it's going to be all about working looong hours to save up for the 3 week trip around the UK in January!
I have put up some pics of a few attractions so far... watch this space for more in future.
Regards to all back home,
Tim, Sam and Lovat

We have Arrived
After more than 24 hours of travelling we have arrived in a very cold and wet London. For Sam and Tim it was exciting to ride on the Tube for the first time!!
We spent the first day setting up our bank accounts and getting settled in (briefly) before setting off to Trafulgar Square. En route we bought some traditonal English food - fried chicken (well, maybe not so English). In Trafulgar Square we found the place we will potentially be working. We will hopefully find out by Sunday evening if we have the job or not!
After that, we got onto the wrong train, trying to get to Sam's aunt and uncle in Sandling (near Canterbury). We spent last night here in Sandling, where the first update of this blog is taking place from:)
We ended up in Ashford, where we were picked up and driven back to Sandling. London is massive, and the cultures diverse. We are having to learn the systems quickly, like having to stand on the right of escalators because people run up them on the left.
We are hoping to do some exploring around Canterbury today and get down to Dover before returning to London tomorrow. We thank God for looking over us thus far!
