Ist day at school
That is what it was like yesterday at work, a very different environment to do business in that just like Chicago was from London. People are friendly though, I said hello to everyone I met on the way to work today (it's only a 5-minute walk mind) but I used to go out of my way to ignore everyone when I was on the 6.10am Tonbridge train to Cannon Street. How things change.
I'm staying in a little apartment temporarily until I find us a house - the most important thing I have to do in the next few weeks - and right outside my window is not only the sea, but also a huge union jack flag. Oh and a traffic light with a green man and not a white one, and cars and mopeds drive on the other side of the road to what I am used to, oh and I'm on the first floor and not the 2nd and the pub next door has an old advert up for last Sunday's football. Football, not soccer. How things have changed! ¶ 08:05
