Nike Town, An 80’s Bar and a Steak Sandwich

January 3rd, 2010 IUP Cook Honors College

So there was a scheduling mix up and so I wasn’t in the office today but tomorrow I’ll be headed to City Airport Dentists (funny name, huh?) Danny and I walked around London for about 5 hours today, taking only breaks to eat at Williamson’s Pub and to pee at a McDonalds (btw the NICEST  Read More »

Bowling, Curry, and Peep Shows

January 3rd, 2010 IUP Cook Honors College

Yesterday was a great day. Went down to City Airport Dentists to hang out for a few hours in the office. It was obvious that the office was publicly run, not at all like our suburban offices at home. Prices were so much different also. Monday I will be going back to do a more  Read More »

English BBQ, Camden Lock, and A Wedding Hat

January 3rd, 2010 IUP Cook Honors College

Forgot to discuss our Saturday! After our Full English Breakfast, we went down to The Camden Market/Camden Lock, which for people at home is like Rice’s Market x 1000…there is ever kind of ethnic food and shops. From fresh donuts to antiques, there is everything in this wild market. And I picked up the one  Read More »

Party Time For The Jetlagged And Dehydrated

January 3rd, 2010 Jen24

Our trip began with a red-eye flight from Calgary to London, England. It went ok but the tons of sleep we planned on getting didn’t happen – too many good movies on board! We arrived in London, jumped on the tube and headed straight for our hotel in Kensington, which had 2 double beds and  Read More »

Wagamamma Love

January 3rd, 2010 Jen24

After a “glorious” 5 hours sleep, we had to get back to the airport to catch our flight to Delhi, India. We found a Wagamamma restaurant in the airport, so of course we pigged out. Wagamamma is an Asian fusion restaurant that’s decently priced for London that I have never failed to visit every time  Read More »

Chi Chi Chi Lay Lay Lay

January 3rd, 2010 Andrew & Nisha

Distance traveled 3,150km Yes I know the three entries before this are blank, but they won’t be and then this won’t make sense but that’s the magic of blogging. We have lots to tell you about but tours and a lack of wi-fi have meant we’ve got a bit behind. We’re in Santiago now in  Read More »

Need a bag lost? Thai Airways: Expert farcical rucksack hiders

January 3rd, 2010 JamesMargetts

To get from Vietnam to Australia I would need to take four flights across three days, and whilst some might have considered this an ordeal, I was looking forward to it. I enjoy flying and I’d spend a night in Bangkok, which by this point was Mecca. I would also get a chance to spend  Read More »

Roma

January 2nd, 2010 Carmen and Richard

10th October Trained down to Rome. It’s strange using Italian train toilets – its essentially a toilet that opens down onto the tracks and the wind blows where it shouldn’t. I’d hate to be a track worker. We had booked a little apartment and met the owner at the front door. It was like looking  Read More »

Day 1: Los Angeles to Santa Barbara

January 2nd, 2010 Adventurous Angie

On Wednesday night my family and I drove 2.5 hours to Newark, NJ where we were going to fly from. We got a “Park, Sleep, Fly” deal from the Best Western Newark Airport Hotel. Our room at the hotel was a decent size. We went to their Crossroads Bar and Lounge to get a bite  Read More »

Final Temple Day and We Watch Some Boat Races

January 2nd, 2010 Lisa and Jeff

Photos STILL won’t go in the right order! I have never had problems with the photos on this site before and this trip they are driving me crazy! I expected to wake up more sore this morning than I did following the hike yesterday. Today is our last full day in Cambodia and we are  Read More »
