BUSY DAYS SEEM SHORT

I went to the center this morning 'cos of the National Insurance interview booked at 11.20. I managed to get myself awake n out intime (on a Monday morning, not bad for being me) to have some spare hours to look around. A local dude recommended this shop, CASS ART LONDON, when I was asking for some supplies. I can't complain, it had everything I want and more - on 10th anniversary SALE. Nice!

I took a walk through China Town, where they still had the decorations from the Chinese New Year (23th January).

Finally... I headed towards northeast part of London, which for me was a new area. It's funny how u can take just a few tubestops, n walk out in a totally different surrounding. Like those what-ever-they-called-'em in Star Trek! Kinda funny. 

Anyways, this area is strongly Islamic. You can find the east London Mosque, Muslim center, London Islamic bank, n so on... Walking threw this area I reached destination Job Center, were me and a bunch of other foreigners were queueing to get our passports and papers checked. Then... queueing again to get the passports back. All n all I was waiting inline for about 2,5 hours... Well, now it's atleast done! Yey!

Aaah and guess what was waiting for me when I got back to Kent?! The letter from the bank with a bank-account number and a checkbook! Finally!!! So, on the bureaucratic part, this day was a success and a big stress relief. I will go to sleep hyvällä mielellä today. Who's commercial in the Finnish TV had that slogan ? "blablablablaa.... Wake up happy!"...? To end this day I took the boys to the playground, had some nice dinner n finally time to relax. Today felt like...1 hour. A very busy 1 hour....

RUSSIAN...? SERIOUSLY!?!

So... this weekend's almost over. After all running around being social as a dog, and a turist as a newbie, I'm exhausted and will spend this day in bed. Basically what I did was walking here n there,for hours, trying to get some feeling about how to move around.
Places checked of the Touristlist yesterday; Trafalgar square, Piccadilly circus, London Bridge, China Town.
I'm a brilliant turist, am I not? ha. Though I must say, walking threw Piccadilly circus on a saturday afternoon was the biggest mistake I made sofar. Jesus Christ the amont of people.....................just imagine having a panic attack in a place like that. Gosh. No f-ing way out... The only reason why I walked threw it was 'cos I wanted to get to Abercrombie & Fitch which is one street up, but I could have done it some other day. Well, that is now registered n will be remembered; piccadilly saturdays - bad idea.

On my way to the trainstation... creepy in some weird nice way. There are loads of squirrels in there! And pikkulintuja a.k.a. birdiebirdies.

Blair witch? ..............no..!!! why did I think of that now?  next time I'll be scared!

I should get the boring stuff done too.... Meaning, fixing a bank account (which they made abit complecated for non-Brits), and apply for a National Insurance...

One thing that do annoy me half way to maximum, is people asking if I'm Russian. No offence to Russian women, but.... Seriously?!? I got that comment a couple of times now. I just dont see it. Another thing is, some think my accent is funny, but my natural answer is, really? u think mine is funny, huh? you should here your accent with my ears. British accent is kinda cute, though. And, considering english is my third language I would say I'm doing ok, wouldn't worry about it.

Moviesuggestions for a day in the bad is appreciated. What's your favorite movie?
