Sitting in a patisserie on Great Eastern Street - I think like 112 if you want to google map it. It's sunny outside and London is bustling with activity. Their street signs suck. They have too many different terms - the train "terminates" at cockfuster, you can leave the station via the "way out", there is no stand behind yellow line, only "mind the gap". They have things like Piccadilly (what kind of world capital has something called that...?). Too many scooters - and they drive like maniacs. They also cram everyone into the underground like people are cattle... it's too much for a private space bubble-loving North American to bear.
Don't mention this to britt, however since landing in London i think I've spent the equivalent of $40 Canadian... she wouldn't have that at all....
Going to go meet up with Tesh and then find DFID - maybe I can score some schwag for my ID colleagues back in Ottawa...

Hi Steve-o.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you made it to jolly old! Very busy and crowded. See if you can get to Covent Garden - nice restaurants and interesting shops. The Palace is cool too! Keep on blogging. Look forward to hearing more.
