GUMTREE....

Ok.. so i have a few posts i NEED to write, including the one about my Pakistan Cab Driver, The Underdog and Aussies... but i had to let you all know about Gumtree and the hysterics that it has brought me!! :-)

So, Gumtree is basically the London version of Craiglist. They have Craiglist here, too, but it is not as popular. Anyway, like may people do to post ads about living situations and sublets, i did as well in that i am looking for a flat. It is not scary and this way, i can broaden my network of friends here in London...

i have gotten some amazing responses and saw tons of flat, but nothing that has blown me away yet... anyway.. in addition to the flats, i have received some interesting e-mails.. see below for my favorite one so far and feel free to laugh aloud like i did.. and see if you can point out a few of my favorite line!!

#1 ... my favorite...

Hi,

You look very pretty, thats why I am asking if you would be interested in this job. The money is very good and its not hard work, there is no sex involved but you do have to undress, dont worry, its not infront of lots of people, its just one person and you get paid £80 an hour. Its not in a club, its very discreet, its in a private apartment and you can wear a mask if you want.

Let me know if you want this job.

Its good even if you do it for a short time to pay bills, thats why Im doing it.

YO! SUSHI

Yo! Sushi is probably one of the most amazing places EVER.

It is a fun sushi restaurant where you can either sit in a booth or at the bar and the sushi passes you by on a little conveyor belt. it is amazing. and depending on the color of the plate you pick up, tells you how much it is. it is simply fantastic! and there is also a full menu if you would like soups or hot food. and to top it off, they also have a water fountain right at your table.

it is priceless and amazing!!

just thought you should all know! :-)

til next time...
