the Kingdom that is United

---

I love London. it is an awesome city, easy to navigate and has an endless plethora of things to do as long as you are willing to pay to do them. even then there is a vast amount of free stuff that you can do.

Lords cricket ground is quaint. the home of cricket!!! watched the county game here today. Middlesex v Glamorgan! nothing exciting happened...until we left.

well it is nearing the end of the trip so i can afford to do a little bit of shopping. spent a couple of days checking out the shopping areas i.e. oxford street (why they made streets this long back in the days when you had to walk everywhere i will never know!)

i finally conceded to the fact that my jeans were ready for pasture. i bought new ones. they are not as comfortable but i suppose they will conform in time!!!

the West end: i couldn't come back to london for a third time without going to a west end show. Bradley and i decided to check out the Lion king.

cheapest seats we could get (and the only seats we could get) were the very last seats up the very back on the very right hand side of the cinema. it was an interesting experience that was let down a little by the sound because of where we were sitting. the fact they all had cackney british accents didn't help either. all in all it was worth doing and i would do it again but i would pay a little more (actually a lot more) and sit in a decent seat
