A dead swan in Scotland has been tested positive and was infected with the dangerous version of the bird flu. That means big “Don’t Panic” words on nearly all newspapers today, and a lot of talk about birdflu. The big question now is : where did this swan came from ? Has it been infected [...]

A hitchhikery kind of poem …

I drink milk, and a lot of it. In my tea, but also pure. And so I went to the supermarket for some milk. And again – I couldn’t believe my eyes. I am used to buy my milk in a 1 liter carton, or if I’m really thirsty I sometimes buy a 2 liter [...]

“A lot of people think that the Territorial Army are not real soldiers. We are. We are well trained, highly disciplined fighting machines ready for war. We’re just not available during the week.” – Gareth from “The Office” I think I am going to join, they are just around the corner where I live. And [...]

London Cityhall London Cityhall Excuse me, I just need to clean my hands after having indulged my Chicken Teriyaki sandwich for lunch. Life is definetely not bad in London. Well this is your weekly (long and boring) update about how things are going in London. 4 weeks, goodness, time surely flies when you are having [...]

Just a short review of yesterdays Sigur Ros concert. The good: The Hammersmith Apollo hall is a fantastic concert place. Like Shepherds Bush Empire this is a concerthall with style, beautifully decorated and build like a kind of half circle around the stage. Excellent sound too. Sigur Ros has one of the most beautiful visual [...]

I am off to this long awaited concert in 2 minutes from now. I bought the ticket for this concert on the birthday of the man who is the reason I discovered them in the first place. And at that time the concert was very far away, and so was my move to London. But [...]

Lawless Heart – a poem

14 reasons to love the London Underground: If you just missed a train, the next one won’t be far away. You never really know for sure how the world looks like when you popup above ground again. Life is an adventure. Yes sure there are delays sometimes. But I have never seen delays being notified [...]

I have now become one of the millions of people commuting from and to work in London every day.

And now I am suddenly busy. I started my job which is nice, as it gets me into a more normal daily rhythm. Not that normal is good, normally it tends to be boring, but in this case it is good. A few more days until I have my internetconnection at home, and then I [...]

Maybe it has something to do with the name. But this Bill is definetely one of the most funny Brits I have seen so far. And yes he has a blog too. And no of course it isn’t updated. But imagine having been hanging on your bed for 2 days eating apples and drinking applejuice, [...]

I didn’t believe that getting a bankaccount here in the UK would be the most difficult thing to get. But I do believe it now. I applied for a bankaccount sending them a recommendation letter from my current Danish bank, and a contact person over there they were welcome to call. But that letter probably [...]

I had 3 free days left before starting working on Monday. And I finally could explore London in a relaxed way, without the stress of jobhunting and looking for a place to live. But no, my body thought it was time to respond to the 2 weeks of stress and running around, so I have [...]

Yes, the cinemas on Leicester Square are incredibly expensive. But there is a way around that. Just 50 meters from Leicester Square there is The Prince Charles Cinema. This is an independent cinema and they are showing a lot of independent films, but they also show a lot of blockbusters after they have been running [...]

I have only been here (not counting the single week I was here in February) 2 weeks now, but it feels so much longer. Especially the jobsearch – it felt like ages before I actually had success, and it has been stressfull, with sleepless nights and all, but looking back at it, 2 weeks is [...]

Ok, I was this close to get a very fairy tale ending to my jobhunt but unfortunately .. (happy ending guaranteed though don’t worry)

Whoa-oa-oa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now I feel good, I knew that I would, now So good, so good, I got a job! Thanks to everybody who has send me good vibes, because it worked !! I got offered a job today, and am I the most happy person in the [...]

As I am actually sitting in the internetcafe on Piccadilly Circus, close to the Cafe. I will try to order a wireless broadband connection as soon as possible this week, I have no idea how long it will take, hopefully not long. The room in Westminster is great, but without a tv and without internet, [...]

I’m packed and ready to move to my new room in Westminster. This should be a rather easy thing to do if it wasn’t for Bill the Cat. I already brought most of my stuff to Westminster, but my last small suitcase is still here, and so is my laptop. It’s nearly like he knows [...]
