Back from London

I tried to post this shit yesterday, but the stupid site just flipped on me

fortunately i was smart enough to copy the thing to wordpad

so here's the post i would have posted yesterday !

yes, you read correctly, i just got back from London.
It was Great. Really had a lot of fun. Since it's 2 am atm i'm not gonna say a lot, i'm just gonna give a list of what we did on what day (so that i don't forget myself.. :p )

Tuesday
Left by Eurostar Early Early in the morning (ok, at 9 or sth..)
Arrived in London around noon Went to eat McDonalds (what else..)
Checked into the youth hostel (St Christopher's - The Village)
Went shopping at Knightsbridge (Harrods was amazing.. loved the shoes.. too expensive though :s )
Went back to the hostel, tried to get food, but the kitchen was closed
Went a bit further in the street & had chinese (yummieee)
Spent the night in the hostel bar & met some great ppl -> Jeremy (*rrrr* Australia); Paul (hihi Australia); Luke (weird.. Nottingham); ??? (nice guy US); ??? (funny girl NZ) [forgot some names.. ah well..]
Spent like 3 hours in the chill out room since the bar closed at 2...
Went to bed around 5

Wednesday
Finally got up around 12
Had breakfast in some sandwich thingy near the hostel
Visited Tate Modern Gallery (MAGRITTE ! didn't expect to find paintings of him there)
Had pizza in some inn Visited London Dungeon (SO the coolest thing i did in london..)
Went back to the hostel bar; met Dinesh; had dinner together (god he was hyperactive.. don't know many ppl who talk that much.. sweet & attractive guy from California)
PARTIEEED HARD at N*A*S*I*N (Not Another Shit Indie Night), some weird combination of punk, rock, ska, metal, hxc (whatever it is..), emo & classics. Well, partied hard.. parties in London last from 11 pm till 2 am.. Loved it though, next time i'm in London on a wednesday, i know where to go! :D
Got back to the hostel by bus & went to bed around 3.30

Thursday
Had to get up earlyish to pack & check out of the hostel (around 9.15 am.. so early.. we checked out at 10.15, only 15 mins late..)
Left our luggage at the hostel while visiting the Textile & Fashion museum (Zanda Rhodes Museum..). Surprisingly nice!
Picked up our luggage & visited Hyde Park. Got cought by a sudden rain shower. Had lunch on a bench near the lake.
Unfortunately no one was at Speaker's Corner. Ugly park, lots of lawn, little trees... me no like...
Wanted to visit Picadilli Circus but accidentally ended up in St James Park. Much more beautiful than Hyde Park. Saw a squirrel. Got cought by another shower.
Tired.. Went to Waterloo trainstation to get sth to eat (McDonalds..) & took the Eurostar back home.

Wanna go back now
