Day 16 - Half way through!

2 Weeks gone! 2 to go! This is going way too fast for my liking. I am absolutely loving it out here and am making some good friends and some life long memories. Memories may fade, but pictures don't, and it was under this knowledge that I went out from camp yesterday and bought myself a digital camera! woo yeah! I bartered with the lady (using my accent to full effect) and managed to get a free camera case thrown in. I was happy obviously but when the rest of camp found out they went ecstatic. They had never heard of anyone bargaining in an electric store! That me proud to be a Brit! SO yeah! I have a camera! It's an Olympus Camedia, bought due to a certain someone's extensive research last year ;), and I've only sampled it so far but it is cracking. It's 4.0 megapixels and has a combined zoom of 12x! The cost (with memory card + free case) was about 150 pounds. (There's no POUND symbol on the keyboard!).

My worries about the "friends" situation out here has been resolved thanks to the big G. I've made a fantastic friendship with a girl out here who I can relate to very well and we stay up talking every night and that's been so helpful and probably why I haven't blogged as much. There's another guy here who is quality too and we've got a good relationship already and I'm looking to build on that over the next two weeks. He plans to come to London at some point next year so that will be awesome!

The work is still good out here. The office is hard and tiring at points but that is managable due to the good staff that work here. Visit the Tube Challenge pages to keep up to date with raising money for the victims of the bombings. This is something which is really on my heart right now.

Keep safe and please email me!! I love to keep in contact with you all while I'm here.
