I've arrived in home #2 as my first month in London comes to a close. It was hard saying goodbye to my place in Chelsea. I had grown quite accustomed to my little flat and the 10 flight of stairs it took to get up to my front door everyday. The hardest part was saying goodbye to the area. I feel in love with Chelsea from day one, hence the reason I'm living their permanently! My flat was right behind Kings Rd, which was the main drag in Chelsea. I had already established my favorite stores, restaurants and hangouts. Before the cab came to pick me up I took one more stroll down Kings Rd. The nice thing is I'll be back eight weeks from now to enjoy it all again.
My new digs are located in Woking, the town where my offices are located. It wasn't my first choice to come to Woking but it turned out to be the best option. The biggest draw back was going to be how far away I was from the city. I would probably liken Woking to living in Bakersfield, sorry T if you're reading this! When the cab driver tells you that the place you're about to spend eight weeks in is a shithole you know it's not good.
While the town itself blows my apartment is great! I was pleasantly suprised when we pulled up to the complex. It's a brand new complex, built last year with all the modern amenities. Here a few pics of the inside.
Not too shabby. The best part of my apartment is the balcony pictured above. The view is beautiful. I love sitting outside and just staring at the trees. Good thing, considering that's the most exciting thing to do here! Here's my view.
And they say the sun doesn't shine here. Let's just say I plan on spending the least amount of time in Woking, aside from work, these next eight weeks. I still can catch a train into London it just requires more of an effort and planning on my part then it did when I was in Chelsea. I already went back last night and had dinner with "V". We seem to be doing that a lot, I keep asking him when we're going to go to a club! He promises me we will next weekend.
Since my life may be a little tame these next eight weeks I probably won't be blogging as frequently. Wish me luck in Woking.

Well, from the view you would never guess that Woking was a shithole. And, Woking sounds like a Chinese restaurant to me. Hah!
