live from london

what up! I am straight chillin in London. I pretty much love it over here. The people are amazing, the food is amazing, the city is amazing...but everything is expensive. The exchange rate from the dollar to the pound doesn't help either. Its about 1.5 right now, and not in my favor. The flight was good, and the lunch on the flight was even better. Def the best on flight meal I've had to date.

Once we got to the airport, we had to take a 1/2 hour train right through the straight up country to get to London. The subway here (called the 'Tube') is awesome. Really easy, really efficient. I'm staying in a hostel in the heart of London called Picadelli Backpackers, it is right next to Picadelli Circus. Really cool place, rooms are nice.

First thing we did was go out and find some fish and chips. We ended up at this place called Rock & Sole, and the fish and chips were SO GOOD. I had cod with their tartar sauce, and I could've died then and been happy. We hit up a couple little local pubs after that. I had a pint of "Timothy ____ Landlord" (I cant remember the 2nd word, I'll edit it later) and a pint of IPA beer. Both were very good, lots of flavor.

All I can say is dang. The women are beautiful here. I mean, I was just walking around with my jaw draggin the floor. London has the most good looking girls per capita of anywhere I have ever been, hands down. I feel like I need to write that on Wikipedia or something.

Sorry if I haven't been on Skype or facebook or emailing much. I have to pay a certain amount for every 30 minutes I am using the internet. So, I felt like putting up a blog post would be the most effective. Enjoy the pics below, I have a lot more and a ton of video. Love, peace and hair grease!

  1. I'm loving reading your posts! London looks amazing (at least the food and lights) and that's so awesome that you're there! What is the time difference there? Are the people talking about Obama at all?? I guess the world loves him! Glad to see you are having a blast. I'll catch you in the next post.

  2. When down to New Smynna Beach Sunday. Stopped in at this little place called the Dairy Queen. I had the special chili dog, if I died right now I would be happy. Topped it off with a Root Beer float that was off the hook. The Old women here are so scary, hairy and amazing the way they stunt around on their hoverounds. Peace, love and axle grease.

  3. Timothy Taylor Landlord? Google came up with it. I like how the "dominated" picture looks like a smiley face with a beard. London sounds amazing! And yeah, it's a shame about how crappy the dollar is these days.
