So, London eh? It's great here and I'm loving it. The job is good, which I am happy about, even though it requires long hours during this time of the year. Tonight I worked until 10:30 and we're just getting to the real busy stuff. It's good though and I feel like I am getting some good experience. I can't believe I've been here for nearly a month! Time has flown. I meant to keep this corner of the internet up to date, but it's hard with work and everything else going on, like seeing the city. London is way cool and there is so much here to do and see. I bought a camera the week before I came and was finally able to get out and take some pictures the Saturday before last. It was a really nice day. Photography has potential to become a passion.
The weather isn't actually that bad; I was expecting much worse before coming. The sun doesn't come out all that much, but it has been much warmer than I thought it would be. This weekend, however, was pretty cold. And, of course, it is the one weekend that Deloitte paid for us to take a tour. On Saturday we took a boat on the Thames to Greenwich, where the prime meridian is. It is quite the tourist attraction, but still kind of cool. They have a line in the ground that they call the prime meridian and you can stand on two hemispheres at once. Someone probably just arbitrarily drew the line wherever they wanted, but still..that's where all the timezones branch off. Check out this little gem of a picture with an Asian girl. She looked over my way after I snapped the shot, probably feeling super uncomfortable. I really was just holding the camera, waiting for people to clear the are, but I decided to snap a shot while the Asian girl posed. Pretty good. Sunday we went on a bus tour around the city, and it was even colder than Saturday. It was cool to hear about some things about London, but sitting on top of an uncovered bus for two hours was a bit uncomfortable in the cold. Anyway, London is a great city so far and there is a lot to see and do.
