After about a month of hostel hopping and couch surfing I have finally found a place to call home.  The suburb of Wembley, although not the most beautiful place in and around London, is my new city of residence - It almost reminds me of downtown Hamilton.  I have been hired as a "bar maid" in a pub called the Green Man (http://www.thegreenmanhotelatwembley.co.uk/).

Wembley is home to Wembley Stadium where all the big Football games are held, as well as Wembley Arena which hosts music and comedy events.  This means that on match days the pub is PACKED.  That is not an exaggeration, our covers are in the thousands when there is a football game on!



The stadium - not actually sure what the big arch is for.. decoration?
So the job is pretty decent.  I get free accomodation (FREE!), and it's not too shabby either.  I also get free food when I'm working which is a bonus.  Looks like I could save some decent money here, as long as I don't spend all my money on beer.. It is a pub after all!

Here are some photos from London, I don't think I've posted them yet.
Welcome to Harrods.  
Harrods (for those of you who don't know) is a very well known, and very posh, department store

This is the best part about Harrods - they have entire rooms dedicated to certain foods.  This one is the confectioneries and tea room. Amazing. 

Caviar section

So much ice cream! 

The Victoria Museum - lots of stuff in here, mostly old art, sculptures and architecture 




Hyde Park on a beautiful day 

This is my room

A little small but it'll do :) 

The hotel/bar from the back 

My apartment - it's in the parking lot of the hotel, a little weird but can't really complain.
