... the outside part of the Globe Theater while a guided tour walked around. We kind of ended up as part of the tour, so we just kept eating and tried our hardest not to giggle.

We ended our first day in London with a British dinner at Garfunkel's where we witnessed the robbery of a hard boiled egg from the salad bar and the odd collection of ham, egg, baked beans, and sausage all on the same plate. Oh English food, how interesting are you.

... display held in the park outside our school. Thursday night I had to go to a Chatham House (it's a think tank) Discussion on Business and Human Rights. Afterward I headed out w/ the rest of the gang to celebrate Alycia's (a girl in our group) birthday. We managed to have way too much fun! It reminded me of the good ole days at Murphey's! Friday night we were more or less forced to go to the Webster welcome party (2 weeks in ...

... there. We checked out 2 buildings that were possibilities, and are fairly sure that the building where the Commonwealth Bank & the Reserve Bank used to be located - is now a restaurant. After that we walked to Mansion House station, from where we were joining a group of around 20 people doing one of the guided walks run by the company "London Walks". I've done a number of their walks over the years & never been disappointed. Today was no exception. This was the "classic London ...

There is one big problem when you go on holiday, especially if you haven't been on holiday for a while. No it's not sorting out passports or tickets. And no, it's not working out what to do. It's buying stuff. It's amazing people don't go on holiday more often. It's the perfect excuse for buying new stuff. No need to do a lot of persuading you significant other or parents that you need new clothes or new shoes. Just mention the H work ...

... s going to be the longest holiday I've been on! Although I'm missing some school and the easter egg hunt, it's probably worth it. There's another down side though... when I come back to school I'll ...

... that three days were left before the travels ended. We were overcome with a mixture of exhaustion, relief, sadness, apprehension... content to be returning to familiar faces and places and afraid of having to face "reality" again. Having said that, we chose two places to visit in London and just wandered around the rest of the time. London as everyone knows is notoriously cloudy, miserable and rainy, but since Scott and I were carting the ...

So this Double Booking buisness hasnt quite ended. Its really frustrating when there is so much to see here, that so much time is being spent trying to figure out how to do this. Worse when we dont have phones or internet. So we've spent the morning thus far tracking down internet only to come back to the same internet cafe. Its expensive to get online!! (Here £1.50 for 75 minutes, about 3.00+ USD) Hopefully now we've found ...

... alone in my thoughts. Perhaps it's the weather, that constant onslaught of rain, clouds, and cold. Perhaps it's the ludicrously valuable currency and the corresponding outrageous prices of the city. Maybe it's the British arrogance and superiority complex so many of them have managed to maintain, despite having fallen to a single atom of the shadow of what they once were. I reckon, in the grand scheme of things, they are nearly as insignificant as France, despite ...

Regents Park It brings back so many memories.I was brought up not far from here. As you know London is a very large congested city(well i've been in worse),it can all get to much sometimes.Well that's where regents park comes in. It's located in north London,can be reached by bus from "Camden Town" tube station(subway). It is such a large open space surrounded by so many lovly big old trees ...
