That's the way we get by...
Things got hectic all the sudden and since my arrival in West Devon I have felt less inclined to blather on. I am still having a great, yet distinctly different time here, and though I will have to go into greater detail when I return (which is the 8th, at about 5:30pm) here are some highlights:
Major Landmarks Visited:
- Kensington
- Leicester Square
- Soho
- Tottenham Court Road
- South Bank
- High Holborn
- Finsbury Park and Arsenal Stadium surroundings

- Knightsbridge
- Hyde Park
- Camden Market
- Oxford Street/Oxford Circus
- Covent Garden
- Old Street
- Leather Lane
- Russell Square
- Primrose Hill
- Dartmoor National Park
- Tavistock

- Metro club for a gig
- British Museum
- Theatre Museum
- National Portrait Gallery
- Victoria & Albert Museum
- British Airways London Eye

Cuisines Eaten:
- Thai (times two or three)
- Indian (times two)
- Japanese (times three or more, three times at Wagamama)
- Tex-mex
- Lebanese
- Pub Grub (countless)
- Italian
- Posh Vegetarian
- Traditional Cornish (pasties)
- horrid American chain fast-food (only twice!)
Times I said the following:
"Cockfosters!" - endless
"It's soooo unbeeeearably HOT!" - countless
"Eh?" - minimum
"Dude!" or "I was like, Dude, you..." - probably a lot
"Torono" - hopefully nil
"Toronto" - hopefully often
"Mum, I'm not 4, I can make my own bed. Oh fine, make it if you like." - six
Money spent:
- at least £550! Shit.
- on presents for people: at least £75
- on food: probably £300
- on stuff for myself: probably £100
- on Starbucks: gotta be £25!
- on sneakers: nil!
Coming home with an empty wallet and a cliche trip post and finale sentence: priceless.
