Flying into England felt like Peter Pans Flight at Disneyland. Too bad I wasn't actually flying into London because it would have been even better. If you haven't been in the ride, first of all your crazy, go on it, it's too cute, but second, you get to "fly" over a scene of London on your way to Neverland. Here's a secret: if you ever go on the ride: look at Big Ben. You will see a hidden Mickey.
So I got to Stansted London Airport, no problem. Went through passport check. No problem. Well there was a tiny problem. I didn't know Sammi's address, so I didn't know what to put on my little official form but he said he'd make an exception. I'm sure. I bet that happens all the time. Anyways why do they hassle you so much when you go to a new country? All I'm going to do while I'm there is boost your economy mucho!
Next task, find train Sammi told me to take. No problem. Found the desk to buy tickets. But, since i Have the best luck in the world... happens that trains stopped and they didn't know when they would be running again. Do strikes follow me everywhere?! So annoying
So I try to call Sammi. International calling is joke! Why can't calling just be simple? You type a number and it calls? Why does there have to be international codes and all the jazz? Is it really necessary? I don't think so. It's the same thing as calling from Wisconsin to Hawaii. It's overseas but not complicated now is it? No! International calling was invented by the phone companies to make more money. Just like most everything else in the world!
So now I am on my bus to Victoria's station which I'm pretty sure ( only a hint of doubt) is somewhere close to where Sammi can meet me. After a bunch of searching, Sammi and I finally found each other. We took the Tube to Kings Cross and walked to her student living apartment. That night we got dinner at a vegetarian restaurant. (Sammi is a veg like me!) Then we went to a pub near by that had student night. Is Tuesday international student night or something. It's the same thing in Nice at Jonathan's pretty much. Tomorrow Sammi has class in the morning, but after we have plans to go to the British Museum and maybe see a musical later. |
