so i flew over to london (obscenely fast) for some r+r. oh, first an aside. tube from heathrow=the suck. like seriously, fuck you. nothing better than stalling in the middle of nowhere and not knowing why. what shouldve taken maybe 30-40 minutes turned out to be almost an hour and a half. i hate you tube\u2026learn to express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\">so after i finally made it to southwark, i met up with hosan for a late din at\u2026some place somewhere. she had to work a bit the next day, so i spent the better part of the morning and afternoon wandering around areas of london i hadnt been before, mainly the eastern areas which i just never bothered with the last 2 times i was in london. the weather was shit too, so i had to duck into tube stations on occasion. at the monument station, i happened to see posters for the emperor\u2019s terracotta army exhibit happening at the british museum. so i was like, woot, im there dude. i tubed it over to the british museum, where i ran smack into the biggest crowd of people id ever seen in london. shit. and as it turned out, the exhibition was sold out too for the day. fuck. aw well, i wandered the halls of the museum anyway\u2026i just didnt leave a donation. ha! take that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\">we met up later that night and ate at <i>vinoteca<\/i>, then headed to a party in bricklane (?) with some of hosans friends where i drank budweiser! except it wasnt budweiser\u2026it was some czech beer named budweiser. right then. the next morning we had brunch (lunch really) in chinatown, then i had to jet off back to amsterdam.<br>look, <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/m3ntalcontraband\/sets\/72157604083916055\/\" target=\"_blank\">pictures<\/a>!
