Day 2

This is day 2. We arrived in London, very tired, we hadn't slept for more than 24 hours.

Take the subway to Earl's Court subway station. Ryan thinks the subways are cool, because the cars, are like 6 inches apart, and they sway and they don't derail. When we got off teh subway station, a guy approached us, drunk, looking like trouble. He wanted us to come to his bed-and-breakfast instead of the hostel, so we went and checked it out. It was nice, and we originally decided to stay there (it was cheaper than the hostel too), but later in the day, changed our minds. We're gonna stay at the hostel for the rest of the stay in London.

Ryan wants me to say that the cars zoom past everyone, just barely missing them...EVERYWHERE!! It blows him away. I experienced this in Japan, so it's no big deal to me anymore!

Anyway, we went to Trafalgar Square and saw the Parliament Buildings, Big Ben, Picadilly Circus, Westminister Abbey, the Thames River, etc. Saw lots, actually.

Oh, ya, the Dutch women have really cute, sexy accents. The service on the non-North American airlines is excellent, as usual.

Quality and quantity of food and service (this is according to Ryan), is really bad, the worst service he's had in his entire life. And it still cost him $25.00 for supper, and he's still hungry.

Anyway, we called it a day about 5:00, we were so beat. We're at the hostel now, they have internet terminals, which is nice.

The culture shock isn't nearly as bad as it was when I went to Japan, though.

Anyway, Ryan is having his eyes opened to a whole new "way of life" and culture. He's so accustomed to the Western way, but anyway....

I'm gonna sign off now, check back later! I'll probably have another update tomorrow night.
