Moving UK

New e-mails and tired

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:25:00 +0200

Day will be a bit short, I hit the limit must sleep - yes, sleep is for the weak, but when you literally fight to stay awake while you answer your mails and calls, that’s a definite call to go and sleep some.

And tomorrow I will check the mails again, there is one I want to answer with my head clear.

E-mails, e-mails

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:28:16 +0200

Just got an email with a position and I like it a lot. So cross the fingers, toes and eyes, I want that job. Really, I don’t know much about it, but what they wrote sounds good, is in a good place - Bristol -, and generally, I just have this feeling of wanting it.

Finding tips and advices

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:16:37 +0200

I am trying to find “tips and tricks” and “advices” for people who want to go and work and live in England.

There is however a huge problem - if you look at all the sites, books, forums, you will have the impression that the UK = London. As is, I am not against working and living in London, but if possible I would look for a smaller city - just thinking about the fact, that London has a bigger population than the whole of Hungary can give you a clue of the why.

List of stuff to pack

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:23:54 +0200

Clothes (that’s a no brainer)
Suits
Shoes
Towels, slippers (I always forget them, but not now!)
Pullovers! (same as with towels)
Shaving stuff, new toothbrus, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.
Laptop, phone
Camera (both)

I will have to work on it, if anything comes to mind I will put it here too, lest I forget.

If anyone think I left out something, tell me.

Imperial Gardens

Imperial Gardens:

My first invitation for coffee - Cheltenham, Imperial Gardens. Looks lovely, and I like the name too. I think this place alone will result in a few(dozen) photos on my Flickr account.

Final destination

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:11:00 +0200

I got some concerned advices about moving to London, and looking for a place there asking about cheap possibilities.

Well, my main goal is not London, if I can go somewhere else that’s perfect. The thing is that I know some people around Leeds who offered me a place to stay, and a similar setup in Manchaster, but I want to know my options if I have to stay in London for a longer time.

But planned cities are:

Leeds
Manchaster
Bornemouth
Glasgow
Cheltenham

But if I end up in London for a longer time, I want to know my options. Preparing for the worst.

This one looks good, price range ok, but bit far from the centre.

Told you, all the details you did not want to know.

First roll, and we got to the travel bit

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:28:43 +0200

So, yesterday I got the ticket. 25th of August, departure 7:20 AM, arrival 8:50 AM, Gatwick airport.

Now, on to the next task: Accomodations.

I need to find a place to stay until I find something final, I guess a few weeks. I would appreciate any recommendations concerning cheap (500-700 GBP a month) but clean places, I need a bed, somewhere to shower and a lockable desk or such.

So, there it is, an obligatory photo of the Parliament in Budapest. Just setting it up, because every boardgame has a start field. This city is mine. And now, I roll the dice.
