New Flat
Hooray, I moved into my new flat!
My mailing address is now:
Flat 173, Corfield St
London, E2 0DN, UK
(But before you send me anything, send Laura some food, she needs it more than I do.)
I'm about a thousand times happier than I was with the first place. The landlord is great, and its fantastic dealing with just one person. We met Monday night to exchange keys and he bought me a pint at the local pub. Then he and his wife ran down the list of local pubs and the best places to go for dinner, for breakfast, local parks, etc.
And with that... here are my new keys

No seriously, the bottom key is strait out of 1926 or something. I can actually look through the keyhole.

Here's a rundown of my super spacious (aka, about 34 square feet) flat.
Living Room (actually a pretty good size, and with a fold-out couch for all of my visitors)

Kitchen (washer/dryer, dishwasher, and full size fridge). The fridge is actually a big deal around here, since most flats just have a mini-fridge. How could I stock that full of beer though, and have room left for ice cream and popsicles? Crazy British.

If you want to see any more, you'll just have to come visit me.

Skype Phone Number
So, those of you in the know have already signed up for Skype and chat it up with me daily for free from the comfort of your computer.
However, for those of you not ready to take that plunge, I've made it even easier for you. I got a phone number that you can call in the states and connect with me on my computer.
703.879.8867
If I'm online and you call that number, it will pop up on my screen and we can chat. If I'm not, or I'm busy with that whole work thing, then you can leave me a voicemail.
This way its free for you (does anyone not have free long distance calling at this point?), and free for me (sort of, I had to pay $20 to get the phone number for 3 months, but I think you're worth it).
Don't forget about that 5 hour difference, so please only call me to discuss your hangover the next morning, not while you're out on the town (midnight US = 5 am London = I'll kill you).
Just finished packing up with some spectacular assistance, movers come in the morning, so I'd better get some sleep.
Cheers.

Contact Me
After a full day of stopping into just about every mobile shop in London, I went ahead and got a phone. I actually have a really good plan for calling the US (only 5p/minute, about 10 cents). If you want to call my phone the number is 011 44 7942 259 097. Yeah, it's a lot of numbers. Please be kind to the 5 hour time difference from the East Coast to here.
I highly recommend Skype for calling over here (and for Laura as well). To the UK I think Skype is only 2 cents a minute to any regular phone number. And if you do get Skype setup, you can contact me with my username robert.harwig if I'm online at the same time.
Other than that, all that I've been doing the past two days is wandering around different areas of London for hours on end. It's fantastic. There's so much to see, and so many pubs to visit. Kudos to Mom for proving me right last night that ESB stands for Extra Special Bitters. Not even the bartender knew that one.
