Before I came to the UK, I always said I would never move to a city.. the "big smoke" didn't appeal to me at all. I was quite content living in a Regional City - nice mix of country and city. Well safe to say my opinion on city life has changed dramatically! Didn't think I would EVER say it, but.. I love the city life!
There is never a dull or bored moment - there are countless things to do and see at any time of the day / night.
The last few weeks have been very random, which is why I also love the city! You can travel to the city centre and not know what is going to come your way! On one occasion we were walking through Piccadilly Circus when we came across the Premier of the Ant Man movie - not that you see movie premiers every day! Just strolling through Paddington Station rather lost as we didn't realise how big the station was - we swear to god, 99.5% sure we saw Luna Lovegood (from Harry Potter) - I know thats not her name but I don't care.
Within the last couple of weeks Iv'e managed to tick off a few things that are left on my London-to-do list:
- Umbrella Street in Borough Markets, So pretty - you have to go for a wander and find it if you ever come!
- Camden Market, Some of the best street food ever!
- Old Spitalfields Market
- Mama Mia West End Show - Definitely a must! Such a good show, any show on the West End would be amazing, this however made me very very happy!!
- London Gone Wild Pub Crawl - We went on a Shoreditch Bar Crawl East London, was the best time and way to meet people! 5 pubs/clubs, shots at each and drink specials all night - Can't complain with that! Another definite must do!
- Wimbledon Tennis Championship - We weren't able to get to Wimbledon to watch the Mens Final, we did however make it to an outside viewing that was packed full of people watching it on a rather large screen, that was until it started pouring and everyone scrambled under cover.
- Can't forget dinner down China Town - Let's just say that was an experience and a half!

Internship side - A few weeks ago we had to say good bye to a couple of our new friends as they returned home after their month of Interning.. We did however gain 22 new interns! New Friends :)
Job side - we've been busy sending emails to prospective customers, trying to get as many meetings as we can. Incentive for the most meetings by the end of the month (2 1/2 weeks left) Tequilaaaaa!
Better get to work! Also just have to put this in.. One of our co-workers came to work in a wetsuit!! A bloody wetsuit!! It was for a good cause of course not just because - We couldn't hold the laughter back though.. He looked ridiculous! Sorry Calum! I know you'll miss us when we're gone!
