Hiiiii. I'm in Switzerland! It's so awesome here, we're in a little town called Interlaken which is surrounded by mountains. We only got here yesterday afternoon and sadly we are leaving tomorrow. Yesterday we didn't do much, we had to get up some ungodly hour in the morning in order to catch a train from Gare De Lyon in Paris to get here. The hostel we're staying in is the nicest we've stayed in so far. We have a 6 bed dorm which we're sharing with one other guy called James. Yesterday afternoon we went for a walk and James swam in the freezing lake, crazy English. At night we spent ages trying to find cheap food eventuallz we found an awesome pizza place. We got pizza for 7 francs! BARGAIN! We also went out that ... read more

Wow I am very sorry (because I know you have all been hanging out for my next entry) I haven't updated in so very long. More than a month actually... and my last words in my last entry were 'I will try and update this thing more often'. Whoops. Hmmk so when I updated last we had just left our hostel and settled down in my cousin Tig's house to mind it for 2 weeks. That was brilliant having a house to ourselves in London. Unfortunately since I started that job at the cinema I have been working 5 days a week every week apart from 10 days back in Manchester. Between the time we first got to London and when we went back to Manchester the only things of note we did were going to ... read more

Hiya. Today is our second last day in Manchester, we are off to London on Tuesday. I'll miss the Mancunians and their accents. Londoner accents sound so whiny compared to the Northeners. Oh well i'm looking forward to London all the same, it's going to be great. On Tuesday night we're going to Frank Sidebottom's private art exhibition opening. Free food, drink and of course we get to meet FRANK. Finally. We also have to find jobs in London straight away. We can't actually stay at my cousin Tig's house until the 16th of July, so when we get to London we're staying with a friend of a friend but I have no idea how long she'll let us stay. Sooo we may have to find a youth hostel, which is why we must get ... read more

I haven't updated for a little while so I thought I should write something, even though I haven't done anything particularly interesting. Last weekend I went to a free music festival called EuroCultured. It was a festival for European bands, the only ones I'd heard of were Datarock and Swordfishtrombones. I got to see a couple of good Manchester bands there, and I saw this comedian called Frank Sidebottom who is kinda like a local celebrity here. He has a papier-mache head. Frank Sidebottom's myspace - go and look! He is great. I was hanging round to get a photo with him but he disappeared. Ah well. That day the weather decided to be annoying and go from quite cold to freezing. I didn't realise this so I wore warm-ish clothes outside in 9 degree ... read more

Still in Manchester... Europe » United Kingdom » England » Manchester By lucyyy May 21st 2007I hadn't uploaded my photos when I made the previous entry, so here are a few. I had a photo of Badly Drawn Boy's favourite fish & chip shop, but I can't find it right now. Sorry to disappoint, you won't be able to see that chip shop today.... read more
