my company is sending me to london for two weeks, and oddly enough refused to pay to have my 914 shipped over there with me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Hm London. Staggering place in many ways. Architecture nuts can have an eyepopping experience.
a) They have different coffee tastes than north america. Very strong. If you're lucky, you can ask for American Style -- tho it does identify you as a tourist! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) We had mixed reviews on the food experience. It seemed to be pretty easy to spend a fair amount on pretty average food. If you spent a *lot*, it was good. I'm guessing that local knowledge would make a huge difference. c) Take the chunnel. Take the chunnel. Take the chunnel. They are working on moving more high speed track onto the England side (we shared a table with someone working on it during the trip). But bullet trains are just cool. (Yeh, I know it's not as fast as the Shin-Kansen but all bullet trains are cool to ride on!) d) St. Paul's Cathedral -- mind boggling that such a thing can be built without power tools. (the whispering gallery was really cool) kim. |
