Arrived at Heathrow about noon. Took a Black London Cab. The Cab drive was awesome! He told me a lot about the areas we drove past. Some areas very rich, some very poor. We drove past some homes that sell for 10 million pounds! Crazy!!!
The apartment I'm staying in is very modern. Everything is black and white. Lots of glass and steal as well. The deck is very nice! And I have cable, which is something I don't have at home.
The washer dryer is scary. One machine that does both. I'm willing to try it, but I'm not expecting much. I think hand washing will be a better option.
I did venture out to buy food. Wow!! What an experience! The grocery store was crazy. Everyone was in a hurry. Most of the brands were new to me. So I stuck to the basics. Veggies, fruit, pasta, and bread. The meat was scary, so I don't think I'll be eating much meat.
The bakery section was to die for. Plus there are lots of little shops that sell pastries and treats. I did look, but did not buy any. Instead I bought a Cadbury candy bar.

When it comes to food, be open to new things. Sticking to basic whole foods is a good choice, though. Have fun! Wish I could come see you while you're there.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could come for a visit as well. It would be fun to have friendly faces visit! As for food, I do need to try more things. So far, I am eating much healthier here than back home.
ReplyDeleteOnce you get settled in, get your coworkers to take you out to their favorite balti/curry house (they'll definitely have one)! The Indian food on Brick Lane is better than it is in India!
