... how plants in rainforest grow to get the maximum amount of sunlight, and so one. Other highlights include the oldest tree in the gardens(planted in the early 1800s) as well as various other buildings and plants. The gardens themselves are huge and can't be seen in a single day. I then went and walked around the Treetop walk which has amazing vistas around the park but with bare tree branches left something to be desired. Would be ...

... every other day, so you need to determine which days and plan accordingly. Also when we arrived, there was a mass of people already at the gates of Buckingham Palace, so if you want a front row view, you need to arrive earlier than this. I wanted to watch the inspection of the New Guard so I was not to concern about the crowds, since most tourist are not aware of this portion of the ceremony. For those who are ...

... with which to weigh my bag, I got the nasty surprise of finding that it had increased since leaving La Rochelle by 2 kilos, so I was now 17kilos, rather than the allowed 15 (the lady sternly told me that it would be 30 euros unless I could get it down to 15). I also had a tiny piece of hand luggauge (after the "loss" of my original bag) along with my hand bag. " You're only allowed one piece of hand luggage," she said, which I didn't mind so much; it ...

... vs. 16th so slightly more respectable. We couldn't get tickets for the other London matches anyway. What we could have got tickets for, however, was England vs. the Wallabies at Twickenham, in front of 80,000+ fans, but we only found out last week that this was on! The Premier League was a fantastic experience. Craven Cottage is an old ground, about 100 years old, and it feels very historic being there, a bit like certain sections of the SCG. Everyone was given these ...

... my brother Paul lives with my sister-in-law Amanda and her family. The nearest beach? Laguna Beach, just quarter of an hours drive. Hollywood? An hour's train journey and just $13 for the ticket. I don't have many solid plans for the upcoming 8-week trip. Just to go to as many cool places as I can, to shop and party to my hearts desire and to have as much fun as physically possible when one is unemployed and the economy is in the ...

... out of extravagant hookahs. Yasmin and I sat and got a pretty good meal at Lebanese restaurant and enjoyed the sweet smell of the burning hookahs all around us. Afterwards, we hopped on a bus trying to find our way hopelessly to Picadilly circus. We were on our way...until we got distracted....by a BIG HUGE park....with many many many...what the British call: Footballers. So we jumped out of the bus, layed down smack dab in the middle of Hyde park and admired ...

... the special effects were quite good. On our last day in London we went to Buckingham Palace and then the National Gallery which has a large collection of world famous artists like Monet, Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Van Gogh etc. Next we walked down Oxford street for a little bit of window shopping. On our way back we walked through Hyde Park was was very big and pretty. We had a tradition Curry for tea at an Indian Restaurant for our last night in London.

... at this point and having a great time. Come 7pm we headed around the corner to find the Atlantis bookshop on Musuem street. I gave Mark a call, and met up with him a pizza shop nearby. Soon enough we arrived at Atlantis bookshop, a little shop with about 30 or more people sqaushed inside. More wine was handed to us as we entered the shop, plus finger food. Another mate, Steve had released ...

... His crew was leaving for America on July 16th and we were trying to figure out a way I could cut the segments for his series before they departed. If I could be in London to shoot my parts on the afternoon of Friday the 13th, everything would work out fine. With a little extra assistance from Bill Godber I was able to rearrange my flight from Amsterdam to arrive at Stansted on Friday morning. A bus from the airport and the tube to King's Cross ...

... group of people on the whole, and everyone seems very friendly and helpful. It's a relatively large organisation, with about 1300 employees, and they are very well organised in terms of people management, positioning, industry participation and direction, so from a marketing point of view there are lots of interesting projects and PR opportunities. It's also a brilliant location, right above Edgware Road tube station, which gets me ...
