Brighton



My Uncle's church - built in 1795

At dinner in a curry house down Brick Lane. I put this photo up to prove we have friends in London!

Nath and I went to Brighton over Easter weekend to catch up with my Uncle and to see a bit more of the mother land.
Brighton is cool - I liked the vibrancy of the people. A lot more colourful than Londoners! We went to Brighton Pier which is totally tacky and the 2nd most visited tourist attraction in all of England!! We also went to church!! I only went because my Uncle is the priest and he said I would get easter eggs if I went. So you know that I'd do anything for chocolate. Poor Nath was a little out of his depth and didn't enjoy the experience at all (not even the easter egg hunt at the end of the service!).
Thursday before easter we had a dinner in Brick Lane with Bhavik, Emma, Fraser and a few others. Brick Lane is a road that is totally covered in Indian restaurants and you can bargain with restaurants for meal deals before going in. It was fun and reminded me of South America where we would negotiate free drinks before entering restaurants. We then hit a kareoke bar to send Anu back to NZ in style.
It is school holidays over here so no work for me for 2wks, and unlike in NZ, no pay either :(
Nathan is busy with job interviews this week, he has at least 3 lined up already. Bought himself a nice snazzy suit so hopefully that will help the job prospects.
Obviously now we are not travelling and settling into 'normal' life again the blog wont get updated as much. I dont want to bore you with everyday life stories.
Still keep checking back though cause I will keep you posted with anything exciting that we have done.
For now though,
Over and out.
