Discovery of London - Part 1

Well, I learned the hard way, jetlag is your worst enemy when you travel, damn it.

I've never been to something else than +1/-1 in time zones, so +5, it meant I had to sleep most of daylight, and due to this neverending flu I have, I don't have much of a choice. This thing is making me sweat like a pig, I tell you, it's not evident.

Funny, near my hotel is a McDonald's, a Starbucks, a Pizza Hut and a Fedex Kinkos (where I'm writing right now), feels like I'm in New York City all over again.

So, what did I manage to find out so far?

1. If you are from North America, don't trust your instincts when crossing a street or you'll get killed! streets are very narrow so there is no space between the sideways and the street. It's very freaking at first to think of watching the opposite side first, but you get used to it.


2. Digital Mike was right about Tescos, there are useful *grin*


3. Trying to find out how many pence is worth a coin in the dark is not easy... damn it!


4. Life is indeed expensive around here.


5. Funny, the large size at McDonald's here (hey, it was the only thing opened after midnight around) is the normal size in Canada.. which is the SMALL one in the USA.. Tells you everything there is to know.


6. Where are those curry Pringles Huntsman has been talking about for years?

So I'm now meeting back Ricardo in 10 minutes and we're doing tourism today (we met yesterday at £50 Notes' DJ gig... ), the only 3 places I really want to see is Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the Tower Bridge.. we'll see what happens...

Cheers.
