So far England has been a blast. To be honest, I've spent a lot of time just chilling, hanging out, but that's to be expected when you're seeing friends. Mostly been in Oxford, hanging out with Ian and his friends, but went into London for a bit. Met up with Sam Rollinger, whose at school in London now, which was really nice. Saw the typical touristy things: Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, London Eye, Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station...
Sorting out my phone has been somewhat of a nightmare, but I think I have it worked out. Got a SIM card from
SIM4Travel. Costs a fortune to make calls or send txts, but free to receive them And I can't really add minutes seeing as I don't have a UK debit card, but at least I'll have the same number for the whole trip. Soooo don't expect to hear from me, but if you want to get in touch with me, my number is: 423 663/180898. For some random reason it's a Liechtenstein number, hence the 423 country code, so to call from the States add 011 before that.
Worst experience of the trip so far? Sleeping off a fun, long, evening at a club, I feel something on my neck and try and brush it off. A sharp sting completely wakes me up, and wincing I open my eyes to see a bee crawling away. Then I look around the room, and see his friends. Literally at least 40 bees, swarming the room!!! They had probably been sprayed with something, and were flying like they were drunk, crashing into things, some dying on their own, the rest easy to kill (relatively easy, given that this was at 7 am after a long night of drinking). Not fun, but not a tragedy. Although I am a huge wimp so this sting on my neck is not fun.
Leave for Paris Monday afternoon, so only a little more time here first, but I come back to England at the end of the trip so it's all good.
