Update from London
My stay here is already 1/8th of the way done (crazy...), and in that time I have:
Used a public transportation system that didnt suck.
Realized that asian chicks with british accents are awesome.
Been to more pubs/bars here than in the US
Met up with a group of crazy ass British bartenders for ridiculous amounts of drinking.
Been intoxicated more days in the past week than I was sober.
Spent $700US....
Tried foods I didnt know existed (Lamb Korma, or Aero chocolate candy anyone?).
Work 40+ hours, wearing business casual attire everyday.
My roommate speaking spanish on the phone at all hours is the most annoying sound ever!
Drank 6 shots of hard liquor in under a minute (not to mention the other 10-20 drinks had during the course of the night.
Woke up drunk the next day, and stayed that way until 1600 GMT.
Realized that I do NOT photograph well when intoxicated.
Done yoga and plyometrics 5 out of 7 days (inspite of the drinking).
Dropped about 5lbs, cuz everything is so expensive.
Seen Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the Houses of Parliment.
Also rode the London Eye (think biggest ferris wheel EVER)
And more that doesnt really come to mind.
Boo yah!
