We went into the city with our brand spanking new Oyster cards, cheaper public transport OH YEAH!! We went to the company that we chose to help us set things up in London, were given lots of information and paperwork and then went to open our bank accounts. The bank we had to go to was surrounded by Lebanese restaurants and that made ...

... too powerful to kick. Instead they bury their heads in the sand, continue to give themselves bonuses. They'll happily grab as much of our hard-earned taxes as they can get their grasping hands on but don't expect any favours, or even respectful treatment, in return.Even with the sword of Damocles hanging over them, they are incapable of sorting themselves out, they ...

... to waiting for the plane with in a matter of minutes, not too shabby! Soon we were on the plane and with no transfers we had a 7 and a half hour flight ahead of us, The movies were mediocre and the food never appealed to me 50,000 feet up in the air (or however high), so I did the boring thing and slept as much as possible. not any problems I could see other than the leg room, guess you pay less for less room... well it was a little to much ...

The point of that drawn out story is that the kid is right. As much as it hurts, I am an Adult. The realisation of adulthood which is no longer pending was not apparent until the third paragraph of this blog (deep I know) lol, and to tell you the truth I just aint ready ...

... San Francisco from the North we got this superb view of the Bay with fog rolling in right down over the |Golden Gate Bridge and into the bay, it was real weird when all around was blazing sunshine. You could just make out the tops of the Bridge towers. Passed down Alcatraz Island - it's a lot bigger than I thought - and swept down and landed at San Francisco. As the clocks are now 8 hour back, I'll continue this 32 hour day on the next entry!

... as the Welly) I did a reconosance mission the day before so I knew how long it was going to take me, and what tubes I had to get - NO WORRIES!! It was a bit overcast, but I decided that after I scoped the place, that I might walk back through Regents Park to town and then take the tube home - Well I got to Regents Park and then it started to **** DOWN!! I was hiding under a tree, and the rain got heavier and heavier and the trees branches reached saturation point ...

... we got there, it was closing in an hour and we decided it wasn't worth 13 pounds for that little of a time. The tower of London holds the royal gems and jewelry. Amanda, Evon and I went to a local pub and had a couple beers and chatted about our cultures and everything else. Then we met up with our new Australian friends at an Australian bar by our hostel. We hung out there and watched the soccer game between Liverpool and Chesterton. We were rooting for Liverpool, with the ...

So we arrive into Gatwick airport after a tedious game of eyespy for Chris who couldn't see the Beanie on his head! Catch the Gatwick Express to Victoria Station and OH MY GOD! People everywhere as it's peak hour and I'm getting battered with my massive backpack! We finally get tickets then another packed train to Oxford Circus before changing onto the Bakerloo line to my temporary home. All is dark and we arrive about 5pm ...

... i had asked some passer-byers where it was and got a bit of a laughter anda direction as a response. The Qube (cube) was a loud techno club.
