london rock the house! new years and then-some was spent roaming thru the streets of london, uk. roaming and roaming and roaming…argh my feet. there were actually alot of americans there over the holidays, as well as plenty of (in descending order), italians, french, and russians(?). before the pretty pictorials, some m3ntal notes about london and the uk.
01. a $2 for every £1 exchange rate really, really sucks.
02. whats up with the 2 pence?
03. the various pub names. rat and parrot, eagle and child, lamb and flag…?
04. there are alot of starbucks in london.
05. there are as many, if not more pret a mangers.
06. asian-italian girls…hawt!
onto the pics! day.01 (we landed in the morning, so essentially the same day we arrived) included: chinatown roaming, westminster/parliament, the tate modern, st. pauls, and the somerset house.
ADDENDUM
oh right, and tien…about that slide in front of the tate. maybe i skimmed the read and didnt catch the details, but that shits not ice! not only was it a pretty paltry slide (oooh….10 ft), but it was made of some kind of plastic bubble/astroturf/whatever material. no ice…blah! balls to that…
Welcome to the UK 🙂 $2 for £1 probably does suck for Americans, but £1 for $2 is great for us Brits 😀
damn, that slide thing does suck. wtf?!?
oh so jealous…looks like after day 1 you got tired of taking pictures? harkarara
