London...encore

10.10.2005

What a morning! The fire alarm drill FINALLY went off! I say this b/c for that past 2 weeks I was paranoid about going to sleep b/c I didn't want to be bolted to consciousness by a loud and startling fire alarm. It was definitely the above. 7am. I was the first downstairs, until I noticed NO ONE else had come out of their rooms. I was considering going back and knocking on their doors (like we do in Loretto) when Simon the Warden starts yelling at me out of no where to get out! Geeeesh! At least I figured I could sleep on the way to London.

The bus to London went by rather fast, and the scenery was nothing special to look at. It wasn't picturesque at all. Probably because that was the major road for all of UK. I met up with an old friend that I met in Frosh week, Maria. We tubed it to Leister Square where I knew there were a lot of pubs. But then of course, there are a lot of pubs ANYWHERE in London! The Theatre district is expecially busy though. I really want to see Phantom of the Opera now! Another time I"m in London perhaps. We ended up going to this really sketchy club, where there were a lot of weird people. For instance, there were these two girls on the "stage" where most people jump on to dance. Well they just stoof the nodding their heads and a bouncing a little to the music! It was soooooo funny. They are perhaps the world's worst dancers! The expressions on their faces were priceless too. It was really great to catch up with Maria though, see someone that actually knows me!
Europe's largest Roof Top Gardens
Roof Gardens. It had a Spanish feel.
Kensington Palace. Where Princess Diana lived. Michael, Duke of Kent lives there now among others.
The enormous, I repeat enormous parks surrounding the palace. This is where they filmed "Neverland"with Johnny Depp.
