3 Rolls Royces
1 Ferrari
1 Noble
1 Lotus
Saw the Tower of London, walked across Tower bridge, and London Bridge. Spent a long time walking around looking for an open pub to go eat and drink at, ended up going to Burger King. On that note, it's hard enough to deal with the changed British menus and money system, but at fast food places the people that work have really really strong accents in addition to a British one, and have a really hard time understanding my American English. No catastrophic order mixups yet, but it's only a matter of time. Back at the flat we hung out with some girls who were staggeringly drunk. One of them talked our ears off for a long time, so I kept trying to mention to Keith that I was hungry and wanted to go out to eat, he didn't catch the signal, but our drunk storyteller insisted that she heat up a frozen pizza for me. It was a nice gesture, and a decent pizza, but it meant we listened to her talk for another hour and half. We finally managed to sneak out at 2:30 in the morning. Had class this morning with Keith's aforementioned godfather, something about Shakespear and Richard II. After this entry I think it's time for lunch and then the British Museum.
Edit- Saw British Museum (and the Rosetta Stone) and Harrods (very cool department store), though I'm not sure it was as cool as Suffrages. Both were really high end with all sorts of exciting designer things. The booth that put everything else to shame was for a cell phone. I know what you're thinking, just another cell phone. Wrong. The one I want is $40,000, it's made of platinum. It has a button on the side that will call their 24 hour world wide concierger service automatically, and it works on just about every carrier known to man. Their screens are made of saphire so they never scratch, and the buttons have ruby bearings so they never wear out. They were originally made with normal black and gray cell phone screens, but when cell phones started upgrading to color screens, Vertu simply created a software upgrade that made their black and grey screens into color ones. I ask you, how is that not the coolest thing ever? Also in the Harrod's toy department we found a mini Hummer for $40,000 and a mini Lamborgini for $80,000. For some reason that sickens me even though I'm excited about a cell phone that costs that much. Oh yeah, and I got to touch one of the phones, not the really nice one, but still worth 5,000. I felt special.
