As some of you may already know, I was invited for an interview with the United Nations High Commission For Human Rights (UNHCR) last Monday at their London office - and I was recently pleased to accept their offer for an internship with their media relations division. This means that I will be scanning the British press for any updates on refugee situations or the UNHCR’s work in general for the next six months. Unfortunately, I will not be receiving any financial reimbursement whatsoever (not even travel expenses) and I was a bit disappointed with such a one-sided deal… but if I am still willing to work as a slave, I suppose I’m not too upset.

Anyway, we just moved into our new flat in Canary Wharf in London and are now located right on Southern shore of the Thames (about 3 miles east of Tower Bridge). It seems to be a very nice area - London suburbs renovated from an old industrial area… Maybe we’ll post some pictures in the coming days. Unfortunately, we are living in a small room while the landlords renovate our large room (as well as the rest of the house). The banging of Polish workmen goes on all day - so much for working at home!

Anyone who needs my new address, please let me know…
