Miami Hotel Chelmsford

... the next week to do a few night shadow shifts (basically, an unpaid shift where you just watch other people edit). I couldn't help myself and had to have a go at playing with everything.  The entire building has had a major face lift over the last year or so, James, another editor told me. All the suites were upgraded and even have their own windows. Not that you really need reminding you start when everyone is finishing normal jobs, and coming home ...

... in them, at least I got to see them. We're getting into crunch time, so the sight seeing will undoubtedly be slowing down (not the musicals, though, I have at least 5 more on my list). Next weekend I'm headed to one of Britain's islands to visit a few friends from high school, so it may be a week or 2 before your next update. Try not to miss them too much ;) Enjoy your weekend!!

... plaza. the last nights we spent outside, watching falling stars and talking, and falling asleep in the mean time. there were parties every night for ist, always some disco dj thing. but it was cool. we went to caraoke, which was originally supposed to be irish night, but they somehow didn't turn up. we had a special 14-00 ist party, with folk music. we celebrated nika's birthday, she got quite a cool performance ;). nowhere without toilet paper, it became our ...

... in the uk for another week or so, and will finally get a chance to post an update to our adventures. Yesterday was out most brilliant day. We began in Chancery Lane looking for an old friend of Val's. Unfortunately, since she last visited, his place has been redeveloped. They kept the facade(old victorian, not exactly sure of its 'rating') and rebuilt behind it. Quite an ingenius solution to the deterioration problem but not good ...

... there are no speed limits on the highways of the UK. Good: Big signs telling you where all the speeding cameras are. Bad: Never having anything faster then a road boat to take advantage of the lack of enforcement of speed limits on highways. Good: You can use your bank card to pay for everything, everywhere, as many ...

... Papeete the 16th thanks to the change of date when we cross the "International Date Line" of the Pacific Ocean) - 30th October: Tahiti to Santiago - 16th November: Santiago to Quito. I may change or cancel this flight to go to Ecuador through Peru instead - December in Ecuador + Galapagos - 19th December: Quito to London via Madrid: back in time for Christmas 2008

... with that one though! It was an awesome feeling being in the midst of it all. There was a countdown to the Jamboree opening and finished with singing & dancing. It is an experience and atmosphere that I don't think any other organisation could pull off - all of the world's infighting was just forgotten to pull us together under One World - One Promise. Sorry there haven't been any photos but if we ...

... These houses were less than two feet apart and about the size of a port a potty. The second we got out of the car literally 50 little Kenyan children ran and tried to grab onto our hands and led us into their slum to the school house. There we met Teacher Eric, Teacher Titus, and Teacher Patrick, really great guys, all Kenyan. We took a tour of the smallest school I have ever seen, in worse condition than you could imagine. We played with the kids than went home. On Sunday morning ...

... Newman, here's to you, wish you could be here/there! Well, they're calling for us to board. I'll try to write more from Mumbai! I'll also take some pictures as soon as I get out of the airports... Duty free shops are great and all, but not picture worthy. Tyson ps - tried to update my I-pod and lost all of my music except for the old stuff.... thank God I was able to salvage the Creedence.

... egg baguette thing, swallowed down with the first class coffee that we bought along with it... MMMMmmm... It does taste good!! Anyways, as we were waiting for the music to start up (which was early afternoon), we ...
