Maybe he's finding time to spend/speak with that interesting girl he posted about.   :thumbup:

The only thing I really hate about it is when it's busy. It's fucking awful when it's busy as you're literally packed in there like you're on your way to auschwitz or something. Really horrible

It's also quite noisy, especially if the windows are open

The London Underground was a thrill for me.  When you dig down 6 feet here, you generally hit water. 

Does anyone call it the Londong Undergroan?

The underground got me stiffened with angst. I am scared of elevators too, but, force myself to use them now and then. The underground is nothing but a horizontal elevator that takes an awful long time to get where it needs to be.

 * shivers *

London is awesome though.

Hope there will be time for pleasant things like bookshop and museum visits for you too.

Yeh, turns out there will be

My train home isn't til 9pm, so I have time to go into London (hopefully find a bookshop, if not then wonder round covent garden, thinking of you-know-who :laugh: ) and then at 7 I'm gonna go meet a friend at london bridge (she's working during the day so that's the earliest. Will have time for a mcdonalds with her though :P

Oh and cbc I will take photos of covent garden for yuou. It's nothing interesting. Just a load of fancy shops and expensive coffee places etc. I don't get the attraction tbh, although I went there twice with the above mentioned women on our own, which was very nice :M

Now I'm rambling... I need to charge my ipod before I go to bed or there's no way I will survive tomorrrow's train journey.

Covent Gardens isn't what it was after they tore it down.  Same with Les Halles.  At least in New Orleans we have a 1930's WPA French Market that was built on the traditional trading site dating back to the native americans.  However, it is pretty touristy unless you shop carefully.

Got a meeting in London early tomorrow afternoon, so will be leaving as soon as I get up
