Bad Internet

It shows that I'm connected and have good signal strength but neglects to send any of my MSN or Skype messages and will randomly disconnected me from either of those programs. That isn't so terrible considering I can just see who is online, incoming messages don't work either. It was working fine earlier today but go progressively worse. (As more people came back to the hostel to use it?) Either way it's really annoying and I doubt I'll have internet at my place until later next week.

Vending Machine Meal

I took a nap and when I woke up I was pretty hungry so I decided to check out the vending machines. One of them sold hot meals. The pepsi bottles seem to be skinnier too (500mL). Aside from that it feels pretty close to home (when I'm left to cooking for myself).

Hostel Room

I arrived safely and didn't get lost on the underground/tube/subway/metro. I have my room and I paid for internet for the week so I should be able to stay in touch - at least for now.

I'm going to resize my pictures down to 500px wide so that I can post more of them (click to enlarge).

Here is a picture of my room for tonight and tomorrow.


It has a nice view of Regent's Park.


I got my cellphone SIM but I'm still trying to figure out the number. Tomorrow I go to orientation and hopefully they'll have a job for me. The only things I have left to do tonight are: switch my phone's preset radio stations to London's ones; eat; and sleep.
