London, Europe & Canada
[

Just to keep everyone up to date, last week we left NYC and shot over to London, England where we had to pick up the luggage we shipped there and open an english bank account. While we were there,
Melbourne Uni Basketball star
Scott Cuffe hooked us up royally by having us over to stay at his Hammersmith house.
London is ridiculously expensive - one day worth of public transport for us to get around and visit Liv & Caroline in Oxford cost us 50 quid - $140 AUD!!!! For one single days public transport???? Also, while where we were, it was like being at a night out at cheers in Camberwell - bars & pubs full of aussies drinking & drinking to 80's music - not a highly cultural experience (The aussies have taken over!).
Irene is now on her
29 day European Contrasts Contiki tour (which began July 14th). According to the country timeline on the right of this page, she's probably in a French Chateau or in Monaco right now.
I (Jason) am currently in
London-Ontario in Canada, waiting for a visa appointment in Toronto to try and sort out a job offer I received from
Insider Pages in Silicon Valley, California. One of my former managers at
Sensis -
Mark Smallcombe is now heading up engineering on this American startup company & hooked me up with an interview when Microsoft flew me down a
few weeks ago for their interview. If things work out, it is likely we will both move to California for the foreseeable future.
Most of my time waiting for the Visa has been spent hanging out with spanky, jono, deano, yuin & marc from the
2006 New Zealand Lacrosse team at the
ACBB Accomodation hostel in London, Ontario run by my buddy Patrick.
Hope everyone is well back home. Big shout out to Kenan & Sarah - Congratulations!
PS. Here's some video from the Haka the New Zealand Lacrosse Boys performed against Hong Kong an the 2006 World Lacrosse Championships in London, Canada:

Is that the big swede?
If so, dude - I'm so bugged we didn't get to visit, however I was only in England for 3 days (staying at Scotty's place).
One night at the pub, we met one of Thomo's mates who said she was visiting you that weekend! Hope you guys had a ball =]
A trip out to Sweden is definitely still on the cards at some stage (I want to take you up on sailing if possible), but unfortunately it didn't work out on this leg of the trip.
So cliche question for ya, but have you guys tied the knot yet or are you still evaluating the laces?

Heya Shantelle!
I had an ace time with all you guys at the ACBB!
All the best for your journo career and I confess the whole 'Coffee-Starbucks' debate is out of my league.
