Summer 2007

London: Revisited

(Note: The inability to flip many of my photos while they're saved on memory cards has severly limited my post quality).

London was amazing. We stayed for 1 week at Imperial College right next to Royal Albert Hall. South Kensington is home to several fabulous museums, shops, and restaurants... but the city is so compact and easy to get around in. The dorm had a pub INSIDE of it. Needless to say, I ate and drank close to half of my money that week. The exchange rate is killing us. I find myself saying things like "Oh! A $6.50 bagel. That's not too bad!" or "$18 pitchers? Sounds great!"
The group has exceeded my expectations, though. Everyone is incredibly nice, and the majority of them share in my political views. Which, while taking a political course, I think is quite fortunate. One of the most heated, drunken political debates that I've witnessed between classmates boiled down to what was described as "Whether or not Obama is Awesome... or whether or not he's just really good."

Other Highlights from London:
Seeing Tony Blair resign (see: picture of car with stranger's hand placed most unfortunately).
Seeing Brown come to power.
Avenue Q (A nonstop funny muppet musical with songs like "What do you do with a B.A. in English?", "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist", and "The Internet is For Porn.")

London's Lowlights:
Car bombs placed suspiciously on street corners that we had JUST visited.
