Sorry for the lack of postings people but as I am sure you can appreciate, I have been a bit busy over the past few weeks with snowboarding, drinking and trying to find work. But lets start from the beginning and work our way through events. 

Got to London on the 10th and established myself in a room above the pub where my brother works. A truly awesome place to live as I am three feet from grabbing a pint, usually for free since most people behind the bar know who I am and don't bother to charge me. Went on a couple of benders over the next couple of days. First one with three girls that my brother knew from a previous pub, which was a lot of fun until I decided I needed to throw up in the Vodka Revolution bar toilet. I stupidly didn't ask one of the girls out who I found really attractive (still slapping myself on the back of the head for that one.) Next night went out on a pub crawl with Chris, a mate my brother works with for his friend's birthday, which worked out pretty well. I was able to walk home at least. Then finally was my birthday so I went out with my brother and a few other people he knew, visited strip clubs and ended up at another bar somewhere...which I can't remember. Either way good couple of nights. 

Took it easy after that and then we went snowboarding in Poland with Matt, who is a really great guy. Got sick midway through for two days which was really annoying and snowboarding was a pain in the arse to pick up but finally got it done......in the last hour of snowboarding that I had.....much rage but at least next time I go out I should be able to pick it up much faster and have some fun on the steeper runs. What helped a lot was bringing along my iPod and it made it much more enjoyable. First night out in Poland was a disaster for me and have fragmented memories of it. We got enticed by a couple of girls selling Vodka and ended up buying a lot of the stuff so that we could all get a funny hat. This then resulted in a large number of shots in a short amount of time and on top of no food. This led me to be sick in yet another pub and I apparently broke a mirror. Don't know how I did that but it happened. Also have a recollection of collapsing outside in the snow and being hauled back to the hostel by my brother. So that was the first night. The other nights were alright though. Ended up going to a really good meat place twice where you got a platter with about 10 different types of meat. Demolished it all up the first time we went but the second time it got the better of us. Overall it was a brilliant trip.

And so back to the UK we are. Been trying to get a job in either a bar, data entry or my field, ActionScript programming and so far its been going ok. Hopefully I get one soon because I am crashing with my brother and whilst I appreciate the free accomodation. Its getting to a point where I need to try and get my own place and really get out into London, meet new people, make new friends etc. Although that said, I have met some really awesome people who work at my brother's pub and with a semi-pub crawl tonight for me (job interview tomorrow morning, can't get too hammered) I'm gonna have a lot of fun in London methinks.
