London buses... covering a huge network, meaning you can get anywhere from anywhere!
Had a painless trip from Oxford Circus to Northwick Park via Hendon last night. Managed to spend a while taking photos of the crowds on Regent Street around 8pm.
I love people-watching... you see so much, and it's so relaxing!

Thoughts on London / Japanese
London...
My first time living here, and I love the city. I feel so relaxed on the tubes and in the stations.
Bodes well for if I get my license for busking!
Had my first Japanese class today, all the way out in Southgate. 1 hr by tube. But again, I don't mind. Gives me chance to read, study, listen to music, and people-watch.
Tomorrow, journeys by buses. Oxford Circus to Hendon, Hendon to Northwick Park. Exciting!

Busking
With only 9 days to go until my audition for my London Underground busking licence, I'm utterly confused as to what songs to audition with...
At the moment I'm feeling like one of my own, and maybe one of the Manic Street Preachers songs I'm stronger with.
Any suggestions?

New day, new blog
Huddersfield has hit the top of the BBC website for the first time in a while...
So the man in the story I mentioned below is to be charged with the murder of his child. BBC news is saying he'll appear in court in Huddersfield on Wednesday.
And in Japan, according to the Asahi website, two men have taken ownership of 50 Million Yen after finding it buried under a new housing development. Lucky!

Terrible News for Huddersfield
A news story struck me in the last few days, as it was close to home - in a literal sense.
As Huddersfield is fairly small in the grand scheme of things, you don't expect such stories...
The headline from The Examiner states today that 'Dad still held as street remains sealed', and from the story, it seems police are suspecting a man of stabbing his own toddler to death, before heading down to the pub to enjoy a pint while the police came.

First Post...
Ok, so after being urged by David to set up blogs, here's the first post on my effort!
Firstly, incase you don't know me, I'm Jordan Allen, an MA Broadcast Journalism Student at University Of Westminster.
I'll be using this to comment on things that interest / affect me, so you should see plenty on current affairs, music, Japan and my endeavours to become a busker on the London Underground, as well as the odd general thing about me and my thoughts.
