The rumours are true

Yes, I have found a job! And I must bid goodbye to fair London. The job is out in Dorset near a town called Weymouth at a place called the Smugglers Inn (check it out: http://www.innforanight.co.uk/Smugglers_Think.asp)

I leave for Dorset today (the 18th) and I am really excited to start. My boss (Sonya or Sonia) seems really nice. In fact, she is picking me up at the train station today and driving me to my accomodation. There also seem to be a lot of travellers that work at the bar. She mentioned some Aussies and Kiwis that also work there and we all live together in a big house in Weymouth. I am not sure how long I will stay at this job, but certainly until the end of the summer. It sounds like I can make some good money and then maybe come back to London. But the fact is that I am broke right now and I need to start a job ASAP. Plus living expenses out there are much much less than in London.

So that is the big news of the day. Other than that I have just been enjoying London. Went to the National Gallery yesterday, which I loved. It is a great place beacuse it is so much smaller and more managable compared to the Louve or other large museums. You really feel like you get to see everything really well. Also went to the Tate Modern, which was ok. I am not sure I really "get" a lot of modern art. For example, there was one piece in which the artist dressed up in a clown suit and jumped up and down screaming "NO NO NO NO NO" like a child and made a video of it. The video plays on a screen in the gallery....like I said, I just don't get it. But some of the stuff was cool and it was a free museum, so no complaints there.

So today I leave the hostel life and finally stop living out of a backpack. I mean I love travelling, but having my own space will be great and not wearing wrinkly or smelly clothes will be great too! Next blog will come from Dorset!
