| Lincoln Avenue in Twickenham, summer 2002 The Natural History Museum After my arrival in England on 20th of May 2002, I found a job as bicycle mechanic the following morning, when I was just about to buy some newspapers. Well, I popped into Richond Cycles, where some vacancies were announced and the next day I was a bicycle mechanic:). Without a room to stay, I came with all my luggage to work ... |

| In England it is harder to find a room than a job ... 450,- GBP / month for a room was not what I expected ... Well, to have a bit of money aside, I also worked at the Sunn Inn (nice place), but working 7 days a week didn't keep me for long. Below: Start at the refurbished Sunn Inn in June 2002. |
