So Jimmy made it out here this weekend, after some minor delays. He came in Friday night and then we slept in till like one the next day. I was supposed to go with Jean-Paul to a flute thing but he was cool and said that i really didn’t have to if i had a “mate in town.” So we took the day and ran into London to explore the sights. Basically we went to Piccadilly Circus and wandered around trying to think of something to do. We shopped a little bit and then went into an arcade to play video games. Without knowing it, this was the very same area that i’d explored two years ago with Lynn, Hong and Connie. (Remember that stamp sticker picture thing Conehead? They had it but it was broken!). Anyhow, we wandered around Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus. It looks just like Times Square basically and the people are just as friendly and accomodating. Me and Jimmy decided that all cities are pretty much the same...boring.



Anyhow, we stopped into Virgin Records and HMV to look at magazines for a club or a lounge. Of course i wanted a hip hop place (i even called Mandisa all the way from here in a valiant attempt to find a cool place) but that’s pretty much an impossibility and after a few futile attempts, we actually happened to wander by a Bar Free that was pumping hip hop. The music was great but the place was tiny so we had to go because it was just people sitting around drinking. We wandered across the street to Zoo Bar and we popped downstairs only to find wack music. Actually, it wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t inspiring by any means. The place was nice but it just wasn’t fun and Jimmy wasn’t feeling romantic so we didn’t dance. So with nothing left we just decided to go to Chinatown to get some food, where we indulged in that highly amusing game, FMK.



So, that was our day in London. Video games, a few drinks, some food and about $50 spent doing absolutely nothing. The capper was the train home which was delayed forty minutes because some drunkard had puked in one of the cars. So, people kept on piling into the train and it was like sardines in a can and everyone smelled and basically it was like hell. England is great. Europe is great. At least i had Jimmy here to share boredom together.
