London -- a more expensive Toronto

Wellwe made it to London! The plane ride over was a sleepless and uncomfortable six hour fiasco implying a full day of delerium on Friday. We wandered the streets for about 4 hours looking for a place to stay (we did not book anything! silly bums) and finally found something about 25 minutes (walk) from central London.

Observations
- attitudes here are not the friendliest, especially when you're asking girls for directions at 3am
- everything is ridiculously priced (I know I'm cheap, but I'mserious!), $12for a big mac meal (a nice cultural experience), $12 beers/mixed drinks, $25 train rides from the airport to downtown (10 minute ride), $30 cover for a respectable club, but there are free bus rides when you forget to pay
- tourists are all over the place causing ruckus and bumping into you
- girls are not as good looking here as in Toronto
- cops patrolling the main sites carry AK-47s or some type of machine gun

We visited most of the main sites today(saturday), I'll put the photos up when I have the chance, and went out partying last night.

I hope everyoneis doing well back home, and I'm soooo glad I'm not at work right now. Hah.

- Mike
