It seems I haven't given you the proper tour yet. Enjoy.

Sleep area.

Coffee table.

Shower.

Closet.

Sorry about the lack of updates

Truth is, nothing much has been going on. I am just trying to study for finals and get everything in order before I leave for Paris next week. I have one test everyday this week so don't be suprised if there isn't another update until I get back from France.

On another note, it's nice to see the Beav's finally playing well. Can we just have that Wazzu game back? Please? Beat the Trojans.

Prelim. London update + a few pics

LONDON!

London was incredible. I'm dead tired right now so I'll have more on the subject later, but enjoy these pics.

Tower Bridge. I'm not sure what the baby blue paint is all about, but it was pretty awesome.

On a double decker over the Thames. It was a tad windy, hence the hair...

On Millenium Bridge. The bridge was very cool, and right at the end is the Tate Modern Art Museum.

Big Ben and Parliament in the background. I took this as we were moving. I rock.

Looking a bit disshelved in Central London on a double decker.

Lord Nelson, hero of Trafalgar.

The Globe. Seeing this does not change my opinion that Shakespeare does in fact suck.

A cool looking dragon near the Thames.

Oh really?

Looking contemplatively at I'm not sure what.

City crest of London.

Oh yeah.

It was a little cold.

London is ridiculously expensive. That's like $11 for a pack of cigarettes. Maybe that's why people didn't seem to smoke there as much as in Continental Europe.

At the Canadian Embassy. I stood on guard for thee.

Outside the gates of Buckingham Palace. The Queen was away and we didn't see any of those funny guards. Oh well.

Munich the second time around + headed to London

Munich was even more crowded this time (a feat I considered nigh impossible), so the trip second trip to Oktoberfest will be remembered for the rather intense train ride home.

First of all, the packets that claimed something to the effect of, "Austrians drink to socialize, not to get drunk," are in clear danger of having their pants light on fire. As soon as we got on the train to head back, about 15 extremely drunk Austrians piled onto the car with us. We thought about moving but then figured they would most likely just pass out and we wouldn't have to deal with it. We were incorrect. About five minutes in, two in their group started fighting, and one ended up landing at my feet and getting his bloody nose on my leg. So that was fun. They were also all smoking (against the rules) and drinking then throwing their bottles out the window. One ended up puking in the area between cars, but luckily he was the only one who couldn't keep the (prodigous amount of) booze down. We made it back safely however, so alles gut.

I'm going to London this weekend, so I will take lots of pictures for everybody. I'm also going to Prague in two weeks, just before the Paris trip. It should all be a great time. Hope to talk to everybody soon!

Love,
