Sheffield Hilton

... roommate and her boyfriend, Danny, lives with her. They are a cute couple and I think Rosie will become one of my new favourite people. Meg is the other friend I met and she's hilarious. We stayed in and drank wine and ordered Chinese. It was really fun and I'm sure the first of many fun nights in that house I will be a part of. Friday we got up and went to town so I could find one of those hats that covers your ears with the strings that hang down on the ...

... Kokosnuss zu beißen. Doppelkekse (also das, was in Deutschland als Prinzenrolle firmiert) haben in Kasachstan so gut wie keine Schokolade zwischen den Keksen. Ja, ich habe es auch nicht fassen können, in Deutschland wird damit geworben, dass jetzt noch mehr Schokolade zwischen den Keksen klebt, hier hält die Schokolade im Ernstfall noch nicht mal die Kekse zusammen. Mittlerweile habe ich auch mehr Routine im Tagesablauf. Durch die Zeitverschiebung ...

... other side of the world? "Done Europe. Got that out of my system." Indeed. I don't wish to 'dis tours. In fact one bit of travel writing advice I came across was: don't be afraid to go on a tour. Why? For starters, it can save time and hassle and money. Package tourist often enjoy a holiday at quite a discount to what FIT travelers cobble together. Not always though. Some tour companies charge high daily fees which are out of proportion to how much they pay local guides ...

... activities they had planned for us was to see an open air theater performance of Romeo and Juliet. When we left it had stopped raining, but as soon as we got there, it started to rain again. With some flirting, Becca manged to get a couple of garbage bags from some workers, so we were sitting on those, and had our umbrellas up. They delayed the start of the show, then after we had sat there for about 30 minutes they cancelled the show! I really dont see how an open air ...

... some for dinner. After lunch, I went sightseeing around London. I saw many people, places, the different cars, and more. It was very intersting. I was tired after a long walk so i stopped to buy some juice. I wanted some ice cream, but it was too cold. I went home afterwards to get warmed up because my fingers felt like they were about to fall off. I went home, ate the leftovers and then slept.

... s tard (2h du matin !), et malgré les efforts de Tom, pas beaucoup d'alcool (ses colocs ne sont pas trop bougés pour ça) mais ça va finalement, on croise des gens (dont des frogs) avec lesquels on trippe et on se marre bien, avec ou sans ballons remplis de laughing gas.... Audrey s'en va à 4h du mat, un bus à chopper pour rentrer en France (!!) et la soirée se termine...

... she lived as a child and stand at the Bapistry where she was claimed for Christ 97 years ago next month. Quite a moving visit. From Westminster we walked through the tony neighborhoods of Belgravia and Kensington and onto Brompton Road in Knightsbridge to Harrod's. The place is a bit of a spectacle anymore and the "shrine" created by the al-Fayed family in remembrance of the late Princess Diana and their son/her paramour is ...

... s house. I was, however, able to meet up with a few of my friends I met during my cycling tour through Laos in Dec/Jan this year, and that was a hoot to see them all fresh faced, and not wearing lycra. In the end, it was sad to say goodbye to jolly ol england, but I am excited to go home for a bit to see my family and friends ... just a short visit before moving to new york!

... glue like consistency and to top it up tasteless). The Pasta was OK and quite a big portion. After lunch we headed for the gate and our flight being Ryanair, a warm welcome was not to be expected. Now they have a system of Priority boarding and Non Priority Boarding. On arrival at the gate we found a confusing sign to seperate the the two and the staff were not helpful. Two of them was seen chatting over a couple of photographs but never made any effort to help the passengers.

It has been pointed out to me that I omitted a starting point for my trip so here it is, an entry for Sheffield, England, just to make the map a leedle bit prettier....or should that be Manchester, seeing as that was my first airport, or London Heathrow as that's where I left the country? Oh decisions decisions....
