I’m writing this post from the top room of a beautiful old Edinburgh house, with strains of piano from the owner drifting in. The house is quite a good representation of professional migration to the UK – a brace of Australians, a Polish couple and a Spaniard (with a broad Scottish accent which is a little disconcerting).
We are here for at least a week and perhaps longer as no similar type of short term accommodation seems to exist in Glasgow. We checked out some more of Glasgow over the weekend – the prestigious Merchant City, and slightly seedy East End. We had excellent chaperones for the weekend courtesy of a connection made in Vietnam, and so were able to experience a little of Glasgow’s seething nightlife.
This week the focus is on interviews, it has been a while since either of us had been through the employment process, shoudl be fun!
