In London.This is the second time I've been to London and never left the airport. :(
I'm going to have to come here for real sometime. I love listening to the accents everywhere. I know people always say that the Brits aren't the most attractive people, but I find that having that awesome accent makes everything better.
Ok, first let me just say, using this keyboard is extremely frustrating. It'd about half the size of the keyeboard on my pc, and half of the keys are in the wrong place (the @ sign is beside ENTER and none of the shortcuts work). Are all British keyboards like this?
I had great news when I was at the airport leaving Edmonton, I was sitting on the opposite side of the plane as my mother. This was amazing cause it was an eight hour flight and anyone who has ever met my mother knows that she is not the most pleasant person.
Alas this did not last, first chance she got she switched our seats and I no longer had a window seat, instead I was sitting in the very middle of the plane with s screaming baby behind me who spent the entire eight hours kicking my seat. Only more evidence that my mother is a demon.
As a result, I am now suffering from massive back pain.
When we got off the plane we did some window shopping to kill time, but there aren't many stores cause we're in the international terminal, so it's basically just expensive stuff like chanel and Tiffany. Hence the window shopping.
Although, if I can find one on the way home, I saw this awesome jiant hello kitty pez dispenser. This thing was fucking huge, like a foot tall. It was amazing.
We ended up eating at this restaurant called Wagamama. I'm guessing it's a Japanese restaurant cause they sold a bunch of japanese food.
I got miso ramen. It smelled SO good, I weas so excited to eat it. But it tasted absolutely I wouldn't call it miso, it was a wierd orange-ish color and you could see this oil floating in it, it was really spicey, oh, and the noodles were over cooked on the outside but undercooked on the inside.
Did I mention that I paid eight dollors for a bottle of sparkeling water? I just wanted a regular glass of water but our waiter's accent was so strong I couldn't understand what he was saying. So I was like like, "can I just get a water?" and he was all, "would you like sdfkjshfushdf?". My response? "uh.....sure :) "
Have I mentioned yet how much I hate this keyboard?
SIGH
Well I have another five hours before my next flight.
yay.
that was sarcastic btw.
