London 3.0

So I'm really starting to get into the whole London swing of things, as everything here just seems and IS so interesting. I've taken an extreme liking to Oxford Street, which is just this huge street that has an insane amount of shops and food outlets - mainly of the clothing variety. I guess the Perth equivalent is Murray Street Mall, but there's really no comparison.

One shop in particular called Urban Outfitters (amongst many others) has an amazing array of sneakers - some Nike sneakers were only £25 pounds, which is crazy considering a similar pair in Australia would be well over $100.

All of us got UK Sim Cards, however Sarah's phone isn't compatible with it... rendering her pretty much uncontactable by phone at the moment. That being said, the four of us are pretty much always together, so it's not so bad. With our phone we got some magic numbers deal where we can call 3 other numbers for like 15p an hour, which worked out pretty convenient for us four.

The Thai Buffet's we have eaten at haven't been that great, so we're making an effort to avoid them from now on - but we're still venturing to the Tesco up the street almost daily for Cheese Twists and OJ.

Every morning the power in our room also seems to cut out, which is a bit of a (major) annoyance, but we've been assured they know about the problem and "someone is looking into it".

Despite that, everything else here has been great - we went to Lords today, which is pretty much THE home of cricket, and got a tour there. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, and we/I managed to sneakily get around the no photos rule which was apparently due to everything being 'copyrighted', but anyway..









Tonight I'm hopefully seeing DEF LEPPARD at Wembley Stadium, which will be amazing, I just have to hope that I can manage to pick up a ticket...

On that note, I'm off.
