Diaries from the United Kingdom
DAY 1
wierdest night ever, we followed the sun, the sun was "setting" for like 3 hours and then it was daytime... 2 days later than when we left... what the hell happened to the 24th of June?! stupid time difference!
The flight to london was awful... worst flight ever, no sleep... though I must say, i am grateful to get here safe and alive! I was also glad to have discovered world weekly news (perhaps its weekly world news... cant remember!) its a mock-newspaper which prints false and hilarious articles... just brilliant... I was that idiot on the plane laughing... you know te one that eveyone is looking at saying "what the heck is she laughing at... shes crazy" yep that was me
I love this city, It combines the retro and very cool tastes and styles of san francisco with the very relaxed culture and sttitude of perth... and its a lot flatter... and yes flatness is important to me knowing that I have to walk everywhere here!
we ate dinner at a greek restaurant... tasty
Lesson of the day: dont ever take THAT flight again!
Souvenier of the day: a funky little giraffe we got from this cool little restaurant where we ate lunch, strangely enough, it was called Giraffe!
DAY 2
Oh my gosh I LOVE LONDON... I swear i was born in the wrong place... I used to think I could want for nothing... I was wrong, I want to live here, and a few million quid to make living here remotely possible!
I walked from my place to oxford street, and discovered the famous top shop... I was not prepared for the breathtaking experience... I got lost... not that I cared, I was a girl lost in a world of clothes... and very cool clothes at that... as far as I could tell there were three levels, I exited a completely different door to the one I entered into, and not on purpose! It was insane... I loved it... I needed sustainance after an hour of walking, so went to a restaurant by myself and ate... the food took forever so I watched... I watched and realized that London is where every bad fashion statement that exists comes to prolong its life and become cool. I saw so many trends it wasnt funny... I was in heaven... This is the place where you where anything you want. There arent clothe only for the teeny-boppers (no offense) but for all types of people... and all sizes. I brought a pair of pants that fit perfectly and are too long... I was so excited... You get the most quirky artsy stuff here, its great!
sorry for the ranting and raving... I was just so wowed...
This is me, trying on some fishermans pants, with a wierd waistabnd (which unfortunately the camera doesnt pick up the wierd-ness) very london... gotta love it!
Lesson of the day:Dont go to a London pub if they have just lost the world cup
Souvenier of the day: Plastic bag from United colours of Bennetton... I have a wierd collection of bags from special stores, and this has to be one of them... orrigh?
