I’m finally home again and trying to get back to some degree of normalcy. When you spend 2 months in a new place, just when you manage to achieve a sense of comfort and routine, you’re immediately thrust back into the life you used to live and that’s what is surreal about this experience. It [...]

It’s hard to believe, but my time in London is drawing to a close and even though there are still tons of places I’d like to go and things I’d like to see, there just isn’t enough time. It is my mission this week to fit in as much as I possibly can so I [...]

So depending on the day, I can never decide whether I’ve packed the right variety/amount of clothes. This past week, London was experiencing a heat wave. It was kind of funny actually, because Londoners are always hoping to have a nice sunny day to get a break from the rain, but when they had a [...]

It’s so ironic to be celebrating your country’s independence day in the very country you gained independence from. What’s even funnier, is that when you speak of “Independence Day” here, you’re more likely to get responses about Will Smith or aliens than anything related to July 4th.

not-so-subtle Bon Jovi reference…
Now that I’ve reached the halfway point of my London adventure, I’ve had a lot of mixed feelings. On one hand, I’m realizing how much there is still yet to do and how little time I have left. I thought about going on a weekend trip to Amsterdam or Barcelona, but on [...]

This evening I got to experience a little bit of life in London outside the main part of the city. Paul, one of the owners of 3 fish, was throwing a birthday party for his son and I was lucky enough to be able to tag along with some of the guys from work. Paul [...]

Need I say more? Those three words sum up the highlights of my weekend.
Bears- So I’m sitting in the tube station waiting for the next train when I find myself looking at the ads on the walls. To my surprise, there was actually an ad for visitpa.com encouraging tourism to Pennsylvania. Having lived in Pa [...]

Wednesday of this week was probably one of the craziest days I’ve experienced since I’ve been here so far. Just when I became very comfortable with the tube and navigating around the city, the tube workers went on strike. Ah! Instead of my regular 45 min tube/walking commute to work, I had to figure out [...]
