1 fucking month wasted. 400 fucking pounds wasted. Nobody helped me out to be able to get insurance, to be able to open an account in this big city. I can't register anywhere with the address I live because there are some benefits given so if I said somewhere I live here, all the benefits would be taken away. Shit... I've been waiting. "I will talk to friends, they'll get you an address", then it was like "talk to X so X talks with X's friends".
Damn, I've got the address after 1 month when I couldn't work so I couldn't earn any money and it's so expensive to live in London when you don't get any money, otherwise one day of work and you can go to a restaurant or a pub and eat something and still you definitely won't spend all your money. You can go clubbing like every day or every 2 day no problem. You can smoke good marihuana (although I've seen some bad shit here I had never seen before, one looked like tea 10Ł/3 grams, some very dry brownish red stuff probably mixed with some herbs 10Ł/1 gram, but I passed guys with these you and eventually found weed, 10Ł/1 gram, that got me blasted totally after one pipe). You can drink beer, wine, you can go and have fun whenever you want, there's no such a thing like worrying about money. You just have to be paid a very little sum of 60Ł / day and damn, you may even get 250Ł / day, aight? For me it was expensive to pay 4 pounds for Guinness but I just love everything Irish and they've got good beers, those stouts.
But hey, even though I started liking the London way of living and all the things, I saw that I still didn't have job and it's not like they will take an analyst to a lab (fuck, I didn't know that, I thought being a chemist means something...). So I looked up my Polish account, made a deposit to book a ticket (of course I must have done that from the Polish account because I couldn't get one in London, a very nice lady with Hindi surname told me "I appreciate you are here and that you've chosen our bank but I cannot activate an account for you because you live in a different place so you have to visit a branch where you live". Kiss my ass. Of course I said "thank you", I know it's bank's policy but then again it was enough to have talked to another guy who is Polish and he helps but I didn't know at what hours he works. They didn't tell. Oh, I had to go around the whole city to know London all by myself and eventually know the city so I know where to go when I get off at Piccadilly Circus for instance.
And shit, today is Christmas Eve. In my culture there's a dinner eaten in the evening and there's no meat there. I'm not a Catholic but nobody understands I don't want to celebrate something I definitely totally don't feel is real. Some tolerance would be nice. So anyway I have to go to this dinner in like 2 hrs... And food is awful - fish, stewed dish made of sauerkraut and/or fresh cabbage and mushrooms, borsch... When I was still in Poland and my grandma was younger she always made something like pies but not really sweet, I guess it was the only thing I like to eat.
To cut the long story short, I've got a ticket booked, I don't need anyone's mercy. Too bad I can't spend this Christmas at home but I will be there before the New Year's Eve!
