Stress and a World of Friends: I must confess to you all that in terms of sight-seeing I have achieved little this week as the majority of my time has been swept up by the demon that is job searching. The Republicans have destroyed the world's economy and unfortunately it has a nasty toll on Australians in the UK, therefore employment really has been at the top of my list.

The Life of a Traveller: It is the conclusion of my first week and I feel it is important to sumarise a few things before I head into the next. These are just the short notations of a traveller new to his status quo. There must be an exact science to living out of a suitcase, or in my situation a mammoth back-pack full of various items that vary in importance to my stay here but non of which can be found in a suitable time limit.
