Greetings from Paris! I’m staying in the Marais while moving from San Francisco to London. I’m here for a week before officially starting life as an expat in the UK, and I’m excited to see what this part of Paris has in store for me.

I got my Entry Clearance for London yesterday! My passport arrived in the mail with a fancy full-page sticker that makes me an official UK visa holder. I’m so excited!

Lady’s Guide to a Scharffen Berger Chocolate Factory Tour
Today I went to Berkeley for a Scharffen Berger chocolate factory tour. I had passed by the place a few times before, and my combined love of chocolate and interest in how it’s made prompted the visit.
Lady Gets an HSMP Visa
My HSMP approval letter arrived today! I’m so excited. Now I have to fill out the Entry Clearance application to get the actual visa in my passport and I’ll be set to move to London.
It’s supposed to only take a day or two to turn around the Entry Clearance, which is good because I already booked a flight to Paris next Sunday. I’m going to visit a friend there for a few days and then finally head to London. I can’t wait!
