London - Day 2 So far so good, my London experience is about to begin. I'm stayin at the Generator hostel here in Central London, its got...oh about 800 cheap rooms. After not sleeping on the flight over, i took the first night off and pretty much chilled at the bar here. Today i'm goin to the British Museum, and the national gallery. I'll try to bring some of our people's stuff the bloody Brits stole, but no promises, security might be a little tight. Initial thoughts on the British: they all look the same, their teeth arent the whitest, and i can only understand 20% of what they say. Cheers for now, Aidin P.S.

Here are some photo's of the place Heath and I moved into in Earls Court. Earls Court itself is traditionally where alot of antipoedans move into ie, all the aussies, sth africans and kiwis. Its a major tube station which means we have quick access to the city and fantastic connections to all parts of London. Its mainly one long street - Earls Court Road, with lots of travellers needs, cafes and small shops. Within a 5minute walk is High Street Kensington where loads of clothes retailers are. Also within easy walking distance is Kensington Palace, Hyde Park, Harrods, National History Museum and Royal Albert Hall. So its a pretty cool area within zone 1. Our place is in a restored Victorian terrace, we are on the top floor in the original loft which has been ... read more

Well I survived the night and didn't get raped as some would have predicted... you know who you are. I have to change hostels because this one is all booked up for the night. I'm heading over to Picadilly Backpackers in Picadilly Circus. After that I have booked a ferry crossing from Portsmouth to Caen, France for tomorrow. So far most of the people I have seen and talked to are fresh high school graduates. It makes me feel old, but there are quite a few people traveling alone though. Maybe I will find someone to explore with, I don't know. That's all for now.... read more

Today is the last day of 'Music and Culter in London'. It has been a good run. I highly recommend doing this course to anyone who can. I am leaving to Bath in 2 minutes but I though I would take advantage of the free computer here to add a picture. The one thought that I have at this time is that after 2 weeks in London, it is time to move on. During the course we did so much in a day that it was exhausting. I figure, go to the place where people have been going to relax for thousands of years. It's about time I had a bath anyway. At least that's what I've been told.... read more
