Yes I’m Still Here

I haven’t updated this blog for a very long time due to a lack of time. I pay about $1AUD per day to host this blog yet I’m not putting in any effort on keeping it up to date, shame on me! I have been quite occupied these days due to work commitments but you were probably thinking some girl has entered the picture, right?

I never thought I’d say this but work has come quite important to me with the projects I’m doing on my own at the hospital for patient care and revolutionising the way patients are discharged from a hospital. Not only that, there are several projects on my plate all with short deadlines and no resources. The balancing act is quite intricate and the amount of over time I have to put in is slowly beginning to take it’s toll on me. One day I might just stop, pack the rucksack, hop on a plane and wander around the globe for another 3 months.

More updates to follow this week and end of next week as there are loads of photos to put on here together with some commentary with the recent SHORT trips I have taken with friends from the States. We ventured off to Scotland as well as some cities outside of London (Salisbury, Bath, Avebury & Windsor) which was fun; especially driving the hire (rental) car. It does make me feel like buying a car here but the next place we rent (probably in 8 months time) will require a parking space before I’ll decide to get one. I don’t want to waste £2000 a year for parking with the ferrari’s and so on downstairs; parking should be given to each apartment and be part of the rent. Why’d they have to be so greedy?

There’s 2 bank holiday days in May; 1 at the beginning and 1 at the end. So next weekend I’m off to Romania with Alin for about 4 days. I may be audacious but when it comes to food I’m rather timid because my stomach is not built to withstand the might of Indian curries or weird insect creatures fried in batter and oil. Despite the diversity of the Romanian cuisine which is influenced by its Hungarian, Serbian and German neighbours one can only conjure up what is really in the sausages or meats they serve up. I can only study what is on the translated menu and believe what my friends say but the rest will have to be my gut feeling, literally.
