| I am finally here in London..well not actually. I arrived Saturday
morning :) First time I flew business class and it was so comfortable!!
Driver took me and Dai to my apt and we live near Tower Bridge. Wish I
was a bit closer to the bridge and train station but this was the only
housing they could find me on short notice.
So what has happened on our adventure so far... rainy the first day ..
but we walked and toured the city. After a long day of walking and
eatting yummy food we found out we got our camera stolen from Dai's
pants. Really really sux. So we then decide to find a new one
here...well first a lot of places don't open on Sunday and our money is
worth almost half. So what would normally only cost us U.S. citizens $1
for water it's 1pound here which is like $2 for us. I'm still trying to
get over how expensive things are but it's incredible. So yeah..thank
god all my meals and transportation is paid for. Having the company
cover main expenses helps a lot.
So no camera..bought disposable cameras and when I get pictures back I
will post. It's beautiful here.the old historic buildings in this huge
grand city is amazing. Definitely must explore more..so far I've been
to Tower Bridge (duh.. I live a few blocks from it), Big Ben, Soho,
Chinatown, Green Park and Harrods...hahha. K, can't shop here cuz I
will be BROKE. London makes U.S. look so cheap (in prices I mean).
Makes me appreciate home a lil more.
Food here has been pretty good especially Indian and Lebanese. I wanted
to try Shanghai food but no soup buns. How can u even call yourself a
Shanghai restaurant? K.. after work Dai and I have been trying to
explore new areas and restaurants. O..yummy French pastry here... Can't
wait to go to Paris and explore other parts of Europe. This weekend we
hope to go to British Museum, Notting Hill and other weekend markets.
Maybe Buckingham Palace.
Alrighty..I will post up more later.
