Ryan and I ate at this little "noodle bar" for a late lunch. We both ordered Pad Thai which was really tasty. I'm thinking non-Western cuisine is going to be our best bet when we dine out. Indian will be next.At least until we have a kitchen.
In other news, RYAN MADE IT, TOO. I waited at Paddington Station for about an hour because it was hard to time the trains just right and I didn't want to miss him. Apparently, it took Ryan a bit longer to get through customs and for some reason, the man at the counter offered him a temporary work visa good for six months. Probably because Ryan is such a nice guy. I doubt he'll look for a job but some extra spending money might be nice should he get in a "bind" (re: should he end up in prison for smuggling hash or something).
Right now we're both at the GIL site looking for flats. We already have two viewings set up (one tomorrow and one for Saturday) which I set up over the phone. It took about 15 seconds. Keep your fingers crossed we get this one (which is in a great location):
or this one (which has internet and is in a respectable location):
I wouldn't call flat hunting "easy," but it's not rocket science. The population of this city is 7.5 million. Most of these people have looked and found a place to live.Good News:
1. Navigating the Tube has been easier today than it was yesterday
2. We may have a flat as early as tomorrow (a little after noon)
3. I still have my passport
