When in Rome...

I fed my friend some cock and bull about the whole "when in Rome" saying when he was complaining bitterly about the smoking ban in the UK when we were out in a pub one day. This earned me such a dirty look it's not even funny!!

Anyway, Nazzy!! Yes i'm back sweetie...just arrived tonight actually.

So it's now 3am and i am WIDE awake for some reason. Hmmm...i wonder if it's jet lag. Hmmm i wonder why they call it JET LAG...but we won't go into that right now.

My trip to the UK was absolutely fantastic. I absolutely loved seeing my friends after such a long time. Although there were a couple of people i wanted to meet but couldn't, all in all it was great.

Although i am feeling very nostalgic now, there wasn't any of that when i was there. It only took me a couple of days and it was almost like i never left. Not that i knew where everything was, it was just easy to get back into how things are there...am i making any sense??

But anyway, remember how you'd just walk for miles and miles? Well yeah, i pretty much did a lot of that. Didn't take as many photos as i'd hope though cause i realize that unless you're out on the countryside or something, the cities in the UK are not actually very picturesque. But i did take a few...

The wedding was beautiful. It was a church wedding, i've never been to one and it was lovely. To be honest, when it got to the vows and "I Do" bits, i got teary!!!! Yeah...emotional at weddings...sigh...!

OOh...i also met THE family. Yup...met his dad, sis, sis' husband and children.

This whole trip has somehow made me think about a lot of things. Work for one. I'm thinking whether or not the job i have right now is where i want to be. Even though i've said that i'd give it a couple of years or so, i wonder if that is the best thing for me to do at the moment.

But again. i won't go into that right now. Lack of sleep and about 15 hours of traveling does wonders to the already overstressed brain.

And the security at the airport!! OMG...massive queues EVERYWHERE, people EVERYWHERE..all toiletries must fit in one little sandwich bag and nothing over 100ml!! And some people even had to go through a scanner thingy for SHOES!!! Yup...chaos everywhere.

Ok peeps, i really should be going to sleep soon or i'll be in bed all day tomorrow and i've got a few things i really have to do tomorrow.

G'night all.

From The Land Over There..

Hihihi!!! Greetings all the way from you-know-where..

How is everyone??

Well, i've been here 3 days-ish now and it's been greeaat!! The weather has been ok (well, at least it hasn't been raining) and there have actually been quite a bit of sunshine.

Funny thing is though, yesterday, most of the tube workers decide to go on a 72 hour strike which resulted in pretty much ALL lines being suspended!! London is in chaos!!! All journeys take double the time and there are thousands of people at the end of the office day waiting for a bus...nightmare!!! Apparently the last time it happened this bad was a year ago. And of course, it happened again whilst i'm here...sod's law i tell you!!!

London is pretty much as i remembered it. Shopping is still great although i haven't actually bought anything yet. For some reason i love looking at things but have not found the yearning to buy them...let's hope this silliness goes soon!!

Walked all the way from the Tower of London to the Eye yesterday and it took me about 2 hours, but we all remember how much we walked whenever we're overseas right...?? Took quite a few photos (wish i could post them up in my Flickr but i brought everything EXCEPT for the thing that connects my camera to the computer!!!) but the weather turned a bit cloudy which disturbed the colours of my photos a bit...oh well.

One thing i have noticed, is that even though everything is still as it is, i find that somehow the magic has gone...for me anyway. I remember a time when i would probably do almost anything to live permanently in the UK...but now...i don't think i would.

Maybe i've been spoilt with the luxuries that we have back home with almost minimal effort. I don't know..i don't think i'm explaining it properly. Perhaps in a few days time, i'll find the right words for it and will blog if i can.

But anyway, i'm off to dinner in a bit. Will write again when i can.

Laters peeps :)

Oh by the way, i forgot to mention...i am actually down with a cold!! Sore throat, cough, runny nose...you name it, i've got it..bummer!!!
