london, united kingdom: full circle

---

full circle back to where we started. it was nice because we had one last night in london and we were lucky enough to get half-price tickets to see Les Mis. I've already seen it before and Teresa's seen in 6072 times, but we wanted to see it in London. the show was great but the theater was old and cramped. once again, knees against the chair or torso twisted sideways?? its good to be back in my large comfortable office chair. i'm glad america is obsessed with making things unnecessarily big - like SUVs, homes, and office chairs.

REFLECTIONS
===========
we've learned lots of things about europe, and about ourselves. that's the great thing about traveling. here are some things we'd like to comment on:

* we love america for having FREE toilets. yes, FREE. in europe, you have to pay anytime you want to use the restroom. at cafes, restaurants, wherever. it doesn't matter if you bought lunch there, you still have to shell out 50 cents to one dollar to take a leak. nothing's worse than doing the poopoo dance while trying to see if you have 50 cents in your pockets.
* we also like using our new word: "dodgy". american translation: "shady". sentence example: "stay away from that bloody side of town, its a bit dodgy."
* don't wear white sneakers in europe, it neon flashing sign to europeans that says "I'M AMERICAN!"
* don't ask for Korean soccer jerseys at the soccer jersey stands in Italy. they don't like that.
* if you want to roll like a balla in europe, take a taxi. all the taxi's in europe are 2003 Mercedes E-class decked with fat rims. I'm not kidding.... I wonder how you say "Quarter tank of gas, in my new E-class" in German.

THE END

Peace Y'all,
A & T
