back to work....i spent the whole day running....i managed to get to work and then run to the train station in order to get to some place near the london bridge where i had a job interview....i couldnt believe it. they offered me the job (to be a market researcher, which is pretty cool) on the condition that I WORK FOR FREE fOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS! i couldnt believe this. this is almost an insult, or at least so i thought, until i consulted my new neighbour paul. paul is my consultant on obscure aspects of british culture and university life. he claimed that this was all normal, that companies know there are zillions of eager graduates out there willing to work....even for free....
i am disappointed though since the job looked really interesting and i could have made a lot of useful connections.....but i need to eat at the same time, dont i?
after this i headed for a pub near the uni for a round of drinks with razvan....we talked about moldova, hot spot that it is!
after that i met gabor near the british museum and we stuffed ourselves on "cheap" indian food....and talked about romanian grammer (another hot topic)
i am now in a cafe and listening to the conversations around me (the ones that are in languages i understand that is) there is a group of cambridge kids next to me...
"so are you going to be able to go back to iran?"
"right, well my father has connections in high places, so i imagine things shall work out"
"oh right isnt that handy"
the "iranian' appears about as dark as i am and is in designer clothes....but then, arent they all?
