hmmm, first blog, how does one write these things...
After leaving good old Melbourne on wednesday morning at 1am, early, yes. after getting to singapore with very few difficulties i managed to score a row to my self on the 14 hour flight to london, I'm very glad about tat as it would have been torture otherwise! - thats about all there is to say about travelling, it wasnt very exciting to be honest, just lots of sitting there and waiting...
After wandering hopelessly around heathrow for a while i finally (after a few desperate calls home to try and get my Cuz's mobile number) managed to find katie, a great relief, thanks mum for praying fervently! then headed into the city, i had managed to get 35kg of gear onto the aeroplane and was now somewhat regretting it... but that was all good as we slowly made our way on the train through the suburbs of london, its all medium density rows and rows of buildings, its quite incredible after coming from Melbourne.
At the moment I'm staying in Notting Hill with Katie (my Cuz) and her housemate, its a small place, but in a really really nice spot, a short walk to hyde park and one of the palaces, close to the museums, which i was pleased to find out are free! - im checking out the science and nature one later today.
I caught up with Dan Crocker yesturday, who has been hanging out here for the last 6 months teaching, we checked out greenwich and the meridian line, It's a really interesting place and makes me think that we're getting dumber as a people as those guys seemed to be insanely brilliant to be able to figure all that stuff out!
wandered picadilly and oxford circus (really packed places, not sure why though, not all that exciting, though the archetecture is amazing there! really really nice) that arvo and had my first brittish beer, wasnt quite warm but definately wasn't cold, good though, a great bitter, then onto dinner, managed to find china town, as small as it is, i guess its in the blood, seems to be an asian thing, find china town in every city you visit... seemed a common theme amongst the people, oh yeah, and its right next to SOHO, interesting place that, didnt check out many of the shops there, thankfully, but found a brilliant french cake shop.
well, i'm thinking this wasnt a very exciting post as i havent done much to note yet, just thought i'd organise this whole blog thing... so yeah, feel free to pick your way through this post and correct my spelling mistakes, i blame the computer, it tends to forget to put letters in where i asked it too...
I hope everyone is going well back home, i already miss everyone heaps! Wish i had someone here to share the experience with!
keep in touch,
