So this is what being unemployed and homeless feels like

Well, the job hunt contiues, but still no luck. The agencies that we are in contact with are having trouble placing people these days because of the downturn in barwork after the World Cup ending. WI am hearing the same thing whenever I drop off resumes at bars on my own. But hope is not lost, there is plenty to do in London. I have been sending resumes to as many different jobs as I can and I am not discouraged. Although it is funny to no longer be either traveling or a student and to be officially 'unemployed'.

However, the fact that I am in London certainly raises my spirits. Yesterday Dzido and I went to the War Cabnits and Winston Churchill museum which was a lot of fun. They really do their museums right here. This one had recordings of Churchill's most famous speeches and they still give me chills to hear some of them. Today, after some job hunting, I am going to head downtown to the Tate Modern. I missed it on my last trip and even if I don't like it, it is a free museum! I think I am starting to get into the midset of living here since I switched from my travel wallet that goes around my waist to my real wallet. A sure sign of settling down...especially if I get robbed.

The hostel we are in is a bit crazy. Half of it is the British International School, so there are a lot of younger kids running around. Also, we have moved room every single night we have been there and it is getting old. To be honest I just want out of the hostel life. Getting a real apartment sounds really good right now. I mean this place doesn't even have an egg carton tower!

So things are good here. The weather hasn't been too bad and the novelty of living in London still has not worn off. I also have a phone number if you ever want to call me (or Dziod, since we still can't afford our own phones): 011 44 079.4446.0045

I have not had time to continue one of my favourite things on this blog and that is the weird sign thing. I picked up a few more:





This one is from Spain. I know, a lot of them have to do with dogs pooing, but this one only bans poodles. I also think the detail is a little over the top.







This one is a little hazy, but you get the idea. Don't angle the ketchup bottle at all. NOT ONE BIT! If you do, it self-destructs.








That is all I have right now. Hope you are all well!

It is tough to find a job in London during summer - tons of competition. People (mostly students) from all around the world come there to learn English and to make some dough.

I'm sure something will come along!It's only a matter of time, statistics and LUCK!

You can see Rosetta Stone free of charge! Admission to The British Museum is free as well. Can you imagine, in 1947 Dzido's grandfather went to visit the British Museum only to learn at the door that it was closed! But they did not have Internet back then. See:
