He’s Got the Whole World in His House

So, in the last month we have lived in 3 different houses, and with quite the global collection of house mates. When we were still living in Bournemouth we lived with Dee a student from Zimbabwe and her boyfriend Jon from some other sub-Saharan African country I can’t remember. The travel nursing house we moved into first in Oxford contained Kai the nurse and his scientist girlfriend Sophie both of whom hail from Australia. In our second house in Oxford we moved in and within a couple of days Taurek and his parents who are Jordanians moved out. On the same day we moved in so did Giuseppe from Sicily who  is doing some graduate work in automotive engineering. After the Jordanians moved out, their room was occupied by Rene and Hadrian from France who sell art door to door. The one longstanding resident of our current house is Francois from South Africa who came to England to work for Nielsen (the TV rating people). It doesn’t stop there either, I am told that when the French guys move out in another couple of weeks that we will be joined by a Belgian woman and wonder of wonders, an actual English couple. Really, who needs to travel when the world is coming to us. Thankfully, everyone we have lived with so far we have gotten along well with and really enjoyed meeting. Once we get someone from South America, Antarctica and Asia, the first one to shout out BINGO! wins.
