[BNM] [OT] Relocating to London

[Alessandro De Maria]

This is what I will be doing at the very beginning. A very promising
opportunity is in Canary Wharf. It shouldn't take too long in the morning to
get there.
But then I think I will give London a chance. I have always been avoiding it
because it was expensive, and I like treating myself :P

However now with this new opportunity, living there can be considered again.
:P

Thanks for all your advices guys!

Regards
Alessandro
