Crazy observations

I've noticed a few things the past week or so...

  1. This place is not at all disability-friendly. So many places, including department stores and tube stations, don't have lifts or escalators. And the majority of places don't have automatic doors. It really is kind of archaic for such a big city.
  2. Another archaic thing is their rubbish collections system - they don't have garbage bins to put out, they just pile up their bags of rubbish on the footpath, and then once a week a truck with foor guys walking beside it comes along and the guys pick up all the rubbish and throw it into back.
  3. The ads on TV in foreign countries are always interesting! There seems to be a lot of ads here about financial help and debt consolidation. There's also a lot of ads they show in oz, but with British voice-overs instead.

Other than that, not a lot happening. Still applying for jobs, though with a two-year visa, rather than a longer one, it is proving difficult.

Never mind, I'm sure everything will work itself out...
