Yo, yo, yo...

I'm in London. This is so cool.

I've seen so many things and been so many places I'd only read about in regency novels and other books. I'm currently sitting in an interner cafe on Baker Street about a block away from where Sherlock Holmes was supposed to have been. Wacky, wacky, wacky.

I'm at a hotel about a block away from the Charles Dicken's museum. I saw Big Ben. I was Westminster Abbey. I walked down the Strand and across the Thames. MY FEET HURT.

Tubes are cool. To bad Seattle is built on fill or I'd tell them to ditch the entire monorail idea.

I've been hit on more times in my few days in here in this city than I have in a year and a half in Seattle. Go figure.

I lvoe the city but I could never live here. It would be the biggest shame in the entire world to take all of this stuff for granted, not to marvel at the Parliment building in the sun, to shrug and walk on after going, "Eh... It's just another church..." (Keyboards in Englad are strange creatures, too.)

Anyway... Gotta go. Must go to Madame Tussaud's wax Museum.

Touring

Take a double decker bus tour, you'll thank me.
Go to Trafalger Square and feed the pidgeons, too.
Go to pubs and have a Bodingtons or a Tetley Bitter or Pale. And for god's sake, have a budweiser, it's fucking incredible.
Don't go to the london dungeons. Try to see a show. And try to get out of london... maybe go see Warwick castle, it's not too far from london.
Go to Cardiff, because Wales kicks ass.

GAH! And if you go to a supermarket, can you PLEASE grab these items:

Mint Sauce (it's like 2 pounds a bottle)
Daddy's Sauce (again, it's super cheap)

I'll pay you back when you get here... he'll I think I have 10 quid laying around here somewhere.

Went to a supermarket. I wasn't on-line nearly long enough to get this response though, sorry love.

Can't feed the pigeons any more. Unless you take your own seed. Which isn't easy to come by in W1. Maybe the supermarket will have some.

I'd also advise drinking beer that is a little less mass produced if people are looking for a change. Hell, Boddys in a can is cheaper in the States than here and tastes pretty much identical to the from the tap variety.

Double decker bus tour... to get any use you need to be up top and it's *cold* here right now.

Lots and lots of signs about how pigeons are a menace to health and all of that.

I did enjoy Trafalgar Square though. It's the sort of place one can go to think. Snowed while I was there. I would step out of the square and it would stop. It was neat.

Went to pubs. Had good cider. Had good beer. Yum, yum. Damn I wish beer here didn't suck so damned much.

Went on a double decker bus, but not a tour. I walked and Tubed and saw lots of neat, neat things.

I sawy this neat play. Tell you about it later if you want...

Didn't have a chance to get outside London. Next time, I think I will be much less in the city.

Do take time out for tea, love. And keep your dicker up!

Re:

Had tea. Tea is lovely.

I think the Europeans have something with this tea time/siesta/2 hour lunch thing.

Men are typically more outgoing to women they don't know in Europe, at least that's from my experience. I lived in London for a year and I had more comments/come ons than during my entire life in the U.S. Heh.

CONGRATS

Congrats, you've officially done a LOT more than I ever have in London. An amazing city, from what I've seen of it.

That, and don't forget to take pictures. Pictures are good.

Have fun!

I want to go back. I want to go back with different people. No insult to those who I went with but I kept on thinking that there were things I would love to do there with people who weren't there.

Mmmmmm.

Definately had a good time, though.

Re: CONGRATS

[fireballof3.livejournal.com]

It's good to hear that you had a good time. I'd hate to think that you had a bad time overseas. Chances are you'll only get to do that once, so it's good that you had fun...........

It's good to see you back in one piece, too.

Feh.

One time my ass.

I will go again. I have decieded that it's all about what you want to do.

Ask me in person sometime. I'm coughing up brown crap with red flakes in it. I'm going home now.

Fire the Envy Wave-Motion Gun!

Sigh... wish I was you for two reasons:

1. London
2. Boobies!

Have a blast! (don't ferget the sand if'n you can help it? Thanks!)
