hello london

September 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

I’m sitting here in my flat in Ealing, which is a town within London. The flight was long, but good, and I really enjoyed that they had video on demand on a screen in each seat. They even had TV shows, and they had my favorite episode of How I Met Your Mother (“Game Night”).

A list of things that I have observed so far:
1. The burger I had in a pub down from my flat was pale in comparison to a half-priced burger from Copa.
2. There is very little selection on British television.
3. Fries with vinegar are delicious.
4. UK commercials are very racy compared to US commercials.
5. Orangina is available in 2 liter bottles.
5a. 2 liter bottles are in a funny shape.

I haven’t actually gotten around to doing much yet, given that I’ve only been here for ten hours. When I do cool stuff and take pictures, I’ll post them on my gallery. Once I get the database set up, I’ll get the pictures going.

We end this evening with a quote from “Game Night”:
Marshall: Backgammon sucks. I took the only good part of backgammon, the gammon, and I left the rest of it in the trash where it belongs.
