Week 2: Find a place to dance

Lili wanted to build her social life in London, but London is a giant city compared to what she knows.

Lili loves dancing and it seemed natural that it would be the first thing she would look for right after the place to live.

On Monday, she went to a tango class that was followed by a practica. But there was not many people and tragically not enough men.

On Tuesday she decided that she didn't want to walk again that far and that she'll wait for the next day.

On Wednesday, she went to Bar Salsa with some friends. She was very happy to take a class with a good LA style salsa teacher. She stayed a little after the class to dance and it was nice, not too loud, quite crowded though.

On Thursday, she went to another tango class. That time it was better, more people, some quite good dancers, nice teachers. She learned, she always learns something.

On Friday, she was lazy again. She wasn't really prepared to dance so she preferred going home and rest.

On Saturday, she wanted to go to a free practica. But actually, it wasn't free. And finally, it didn't even take place. They were having an audition for some production. She stayed and watched the class and the audition. That was quite an interesting thing to watch. However, she wished it didn't rain that day and that her feet weren't wet and freezing...

On Sunday, she went shopping in the afternoon to find a London-friendly pair of shoes and then she went to another practica. She watched the class first and then she started to worry about her chances to dance that night because as soon as the class finished, everybody left... But finally, other dancers arrived and she was able to dance nicely that night...

Week 1: Find a place to live

Lili's first mission was to find a nice place to live and have her own address. As her friends had told her, that didn't take long. On tuesday, she found the cute room she wanted, on thursday she was moving in. Her room was very small but it was conveniently located for her to walk to work, it was nice and clean, and also not too expensive.

Arrival

Lili arrived in London on a Sunday and that's when her adventure started.
