I’m not legal here in the Bahamas yet, and i don’t want any trouble from things I write here in my blog.
Today I was in the office and it’s in a run down plaza at the end of the strip. Theres nothing much down there apart from jus and a steel drum shop. 6 imigration officers walked by checked out the office as they walked by. Rita the Bahamian partner told me they were immigration so I hid in the bathroom. When they walked back past she pretended to be telling me where to go for the trip.

I then left and went home and apartment shopping, luck of luck I found somewhere to live, however I still have no permit.

Just so you know if they catch me I am arrested put in jail and maybe deported for good.

Some of you already know that I have made my move to Nassau Bahamas. It is semi permanent until my work permit is approved which technically is not even in for approval yet, should hopefully not be a problem, but then again there’s always Cayman.
My aim is to make it here so I can go back to Cayman richer, owning stuff substantial and being able to retire into doing something I love doing by an early age of 35. Not a bad plan .. we’ll see how it goes.
I have had a hard time adjusting, for the first time in my life I felt homesick. Thats not a slur on my growing up home of england nor my friends and family as I do miss all of that dearly. But I know it will always be there for me. I am however throwing nmyself into work day and night to keep my mind off missing what makes me homesick. All of the people I love in Cayman, you know who you are as I’ve already told ya so.

So anyways, High Fidelity, the movie is one of my favourites has a theme of top five things. So here are my top 5 things for my move.

Top 5 reasons I like Nassau

  1. It’s New it’s Exciting
  2. My job is using my mind and great for me inn many ways
  3. The people are friendly
  4. Beer tastes the same here
  5. I’m getting lots of rest

Top 5 reasons for not liking Nassau

  1. I have no friends here
  2. It’s a dirty island in many ways
  3. It’s more expensive than anywhere I have ever been
  4. The beaches suck
  5. It’s frickin cold conmpared to Cayman

soon to come i’ll be writing a retrospective look at my time in Cayman. I think it will be good for me and maybe usefull for other pelople wanting to live their life the same way. Hopefully i’ll also get my photos onto a computer so I can share some of them with you all.

Spring break is always a fun time of year .. got to look on the funny side of things, oh and the fact there are lots of drunk women around. I am sure I will have my camera around while more of this sort of thing happens.

Maybe I will see some fun stuff while in the Bahamas and i’ll snap some more photos there forthe fun of it.

Sometimes you find yourself being used just as a piece of meat, some people see it as demeening, I see it as a way to please the world. I bring to you ‘me’ male international supermodel ;)
