Me? You? Us?

Meeting that boy was... encouraging. Obviously, I didn't want to go. For me, it was enough to ask him for a number. Even a few hundred metres before the tube station, where we should have met, I was thinking about turning back and going home. But the reasonable part of myself won and I went there. Was there first, then saw him going out of the station - but he didn't notice me (standing behind TheLondonPaper reading LoveStruck as usual:D) so I came to him saying a shy "hey", then he seemed really surprised who's there in front of him, 'cause I looked really different than the other night.

We sat outside in a nearby Italian restaurant for a coffee, overlooking Camden High St. Chatting all the time, I realised that there was nothing to be afraid of. We just had a great time, talking about how's it to live in London, which places we like, what people are like in Britain, where we went in Europe, how's Czech and Portugal... and that I seem to be really into oldies music - 'cause of the way I dress (woo hoo:D), he was surprised by my age (yeah baby, I know I look older!) and I, in return, was by the school he studied (girls think that architects are hot!:P).

He's one of many many people in London who left school in their country and went to the UK to see what it is like to live on their own. He's been here for a year and a half, had worked until May, now just spending saved money. Enjoying the city, new friends, looking for another job, travelling from time to time... one month, by train, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Vienna, Krakow. Summer in India. Trip to Scotland. Seeing my own dreams coming true in somebody else's life.

Everybody wants to know.
'Do you live here?'
'Kind of.'

Everybody wants to know why I don't move to London. Me too. Nothing has ever been easier. The worst paid jobs are for £200 a week. £120 is for a fancy accommodation (def not a room for 4 like the one we stay in:D), £20 for food (even £10 ensures you are not starving, but nobody wants to live on Sainsbury's basics all the time:P), £60 for anything else like eating out, beer, clothes. Or you can save it up, £240 a month, almost £3000 a year and go for a decent vacation afterwards.

Stay?
