Going to the land down under!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the posts, been quite busy for the past day. I won't have much time to write anything right now...I have to start packing and get to sleep so we can wake up early tomorrow. Our flight leaves for Perth at 12:00 pm local time, so I have to be up around 7:00am...which really sucks. But I can sleep on the plane...as I won't have too much else to do, considering our trip is 13 hours from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur, where we transfer on another plane to Perth, Australia (which takes an additional 5 hours). You'll probably hear from me in a a few days, as I need to overcome a full 12 hour time difference...so the jetlag is going to be awful :(

Anywho, today...my mom and I walked about 10km from the flat on Great Portland St. through Reagent Park, where they have an awesome rose garden display; all the way through to Camden Town. Camden is different than the rest of London that I have been seeing. There are a lot of interesting characters in Camden...like goths and people who dress like it's Halloween everyday of the year. I thought the emos in Belleville were annoying and fucked up...but no. Not at all compared to what I saw today haha (I hate emo crybaby kids by the way).

But moving on to more important things. After Camden, my aunt and both my cousins went to a nice restaurant close by. Their specialty was mussels and chips, kinda like a unique take on the traditional fish and chips. I ordered a tried and true favourite there...1 kg of mussels with a white wine cream sauce and fries. Delicious! I wish I would have taken a picture, but my aunt did, so I'm going to snag a few of them from her. I just realized that I'm eating a lot here...I'm going to be a fatass after my trip. But I like to think the excess walking counteracts everything bad I'm eating.

OH...that brings me to a different topic all together. The girls in London. Wow...my girlfriend will be highly displeased...but for the guys reading, I have honestly encountered only 2 to 3 morbidly obese girls...the rest of them, I wouldn't even consider fat. Maybe I'm in a good part of London...but I can't beleive it. Anyways, I'm going to get some sleep for my big day tomorrow.

I'll see you all on the other side of the world, in the land down under!!


Cheers!

Simon
