First impressions from London

My apologies for not writing for so long. I was actually waiting for the sun to come out to write again. Sun? What is this? Something that you rarely see in London!
So that is one down for London; the depressing weather. Second down..prices. I actually tried to compare prices of TGI Friday's in the U.S and TGI Friday's in London. A cajun chicken sandwich in U.S is $8, in London it's 9 English pounds which translates to about $18. A mixed drink is about $16 and an imported beer is about $7-9 depending on the area where you are from.
Let's go to the positives. There is always something to do anywhere. Want to go for a coffee or at a bar. It is more than likely that there is such an establishment down the road. Transportation is really easy with buses running all the time and underground trains (expensive..but easy).
As for my job, I really like it. I have 12-hour days (including the 1.5 hr commute each way) so by the time I come home the only thing I want to do is eat, watch an episode of Lost, talk to Molly and sleep. And yet the one episode of Lost becomes two or three, a little surfing on the web and the time goes to 1am before I sleep. And I am up by 6am and then again the same routine. Tiring, but it does fill my days.
Well, that is for now. I know, a pretty boring post but that is pretty much all I have for now. Until I have something interesting take care..
