Clearly February wasn't a month for blogging. No sir. It's all about March now. March and GAP YEAR 2010!!! Yes, that's right folks! Just under a week ago it was time for me to farewell Sydney and jump on a plane (or two...and suffer a 4 hour delay at Melbourne airport) to the Northern Hemisphere. Specifically London.
Yada, yada, yada...LONDON IS SO COOL! It had double decker buses, the tube (and Oyster Cards - fuck sliced bread, these are way better!), policemen in funny hats, Jessie (for a brief moment) andddddddd it's cold (this is actually awesome as it means I get to wear my awesome coat with a high collar and feel all badass)! It's actually been sunny with blue skies (for at least an hour of each day)!!
A few other titbits of information: Big Ben - not that big, but a lovely chap all the same. Tower Bridge is pretty damn cool. As is Millennium Bridge. There are some cool street performers, but many of them are very forward about you paying them (quite rude..). In fact, London has so many cool old buildings, half of them don't even have a special purpose, they're just regular old, cool buildings. Sydney sucks. Also, there's a sort of Transport Police (similar to our bus inspectors) and they have BADGES!! And they whip them out as if they're so official!! I personally found it hilarious.
Heard about this sweet website (if you happen to be in London and looking for something to do) that tells you what's on in all parts of London in all different areas (theatre, live music, cocktails, 'beery fun', free, etc) called spoonfed.
I've got a few more days in London (meeting up with Fergus) and then off to Spain and Portugal!
Adios!
Oh! and a little extra for you:
Today's highlight (so far): I saw a man with a moustache that actually CURLED at the ends!!! English people are excellent.
