On my recent trip to Westfield Stratford City Shopping Mall (a stone throw away from the Olympic Park), I immediately noticed how busy it has become. There was so many people. Huge crowds. But these weren’t just your regular shoppers. These were journalists, tourists and…athletes. Yep. the Olympics is finally here. With every passing minute, […]
Read more "The London 2012 Olympics On My Doorstep."If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from my time as a waiter, it’s that it’s actually a really tough job. It’s not glamorous. It’s difficult. It’s tiring. It’s demoralising. It’s crap pay and certainly not a job I or anyone else would want for the long haul. Despite that, there are lessons to be learnt […]
Read more "Why You Should Smile That Little Bit Sweeter To Your Waiter."So lately I’ve been visitting some of the UK’s most historical landmarks.

Read more "There Are People Like Me?!"Last week, I survived my second epic run from my house to Canary Wharf, London’s Financial District. As I reached my finish line and tried to stop my small cardiac muscle from bursting, I was approached by a lady (yes, she was pretty) and asked if I could complete a survey for her project.
