I'll post more detailed entries about my trip later. I'm finally tired! I was sad to leave England :( I can't wait to go back. There was so much I hadn't seen. London was the best part. I could totally see myself living there. I'm a great packer. My suitcase, returning home, was 5 pounds over the limit, so I took out my bag of dirty laundry and shoved it in my extra backpack. I was prepared! I seem to have lost a CD of photos I had burned from my trip :cry: I didn't delete all the pics from my memory card, just in case something happened to the CD. I remember attempting to put it in my suitcase, but I could not locate it afterwards. And after this trip, I've decided I want a tripod. Nobody can take the kind of photos I would want to take. So now I have a lot of crappy photos of me taken on my camera. And a tripod would help with the shakey hand thing, too. Now, there are a bunch on sale right now, but I need to probably spend the next several months at home spending *no* money at all to pay off my bills from this trip. Hmm. I want a tripod now!! It's a sucky feeling knowing that I have to get back to real life now :lol: I'm glad T and I went on this trip together, but our traveling styles are way too different to consider this kind of trip together again. Besides, she plans on making babies really soon, so it's not like we'll be traveling together any time soon! When I travel, I want to see as much as I can in a day, every day. I don't care if I end up exhausted. I like to go off in the morning and come back post-dinner time. I don't hold back too much when it comes to spending, but I don't go crazy either. And I just suck up the culture as best I can. However, traveling with T meant...going into every skate shop we passed, early nights, listening to complaints about the food, not wanting to do things because they cost "too much" money, not wanting to spend a lot of time at one place, yet trying to fit too much in another. She's not an experienced traveler, but was too headstrong to listen to my suggestions. So...that was slightly frustrating. I think she's soaked up the small town mentality, finally. Actually, other minor things that got to me was she always walked ahead of me...like way ahead, and she always seemed to pick the seat I'd want in a restaurant/pub/cafe, and she'd always make sure she was in front of me for anything that required a queue. I can understand the seat thing -- our thought processes are eerily similar. But anyway... It's kind of nice to be home -- to be able to use my vocabulary again (queue...who uses that word other than the English?!) and to see some Asians. I look forward to using single-fauceted sinks. I am going to gorge myself on vegetables in the next few days. |

I'm glad you're back in one piece, Rosiest!
BTW, queue and schedule are my 2 favourite English words ;)

Thanks :) Did you get the postcard? Why do you like the words "queue" and "schedule"? :) And do you say "shhhhedule" or "skedule"?
