And so it came to pass, that in the wee hours of the 16th of November, 2007, I was once again connected (free of charge, or rather inclusive in the rental costs) to the world wide web...and it was good.
Finally I can sit down at the computer, and not have to pay by the hour, I can rant n' rave of all that is London-esque - sans shekels!!!
London is a lively lil' place that's for sure...4 weeks in now and I'm slooooooooooowly acclimatising to my new surroundings.
Some interesting reports on the culture: They have so much of it, yet I think at times they don't know what to do with it...in my attempts to come across as friendly and good natured, it appears on occasion that its misinterpreted for ignorance and arrogance - they're a bunch of stuffy mofos at times...the concept of smiling at someone in the street or a passing hello or 'scuse me, those my dear Canucks...those are HUGE NO-NO's here...liable to get you a sneer or two.
So when I'm not unintentionally insulting Londoners, I'm checking out their shops, their museums - oh the museums...for starters - THEY'RE FREE...NO CHARGE (sure, donations accepted, and should you wish to see the BIG event, then you gotta cough up a lil' side admission) - but general galleries and exhibits are F R E E (which is good news for budget-minded travelling teachers such as myself).
There are photos aplenty - so be sure to check out my facebook page for some, and I'm working on uploading them to a flickr type page or something of that nature...
More soon,
Done.
