Friday, September 21st, 2007 Good day ladies and gents! The Jewel Tower is a medieval tower (so cool, I know!!) built c. 1365 to house Edward III’s treasures. It’s our third day in England and I’m already so in love with the country! The British phrases are super cute. Here’s some of my newly acquired Read More »
I’m in London, England now. Staying at my good friend Irina and her husband, Andres’ house. My 8 hour layover in Oslo wasn’t too bad. Much nicer airport than Frankfurt, certainly. There was duty-free shopping and plenty of nice restaurants to keep me occupied. When I arrived in London, I had my first true customs Read More »
On Thursday we made our way into London Blackfriars Station and, armed with scalding coffee, made our way down the riverside walk on the north bank of the Thames, where construction projects dominate the landscape and joggers on lunch from professional jobs huff by in the breezy but somewhat polluted air. Cranes tower above the Read More »
Yes! We’re off to London! My friends Tanya and Amisha, and I decided to make use of our winter break from Rutgers and do some traveling. We ultimately decided on London because of its wide array of activities and because there is no language barrier to cross. We flew Virgin Airlines, and a good thing Read More »

Had a “Touristy” day in london yesterday… it was great! We began with a visit to Buckingham Palace, we couldn’t believe how many people were there… there were literally thousands.

Tuesday, 12/25/2007 We’ve arrived! (London Heathrow airport, 1 pm, GMT) We met our good friend, Davin, and our soon-to-be good friend, Trent, at the London Heathrow airport. From the airport, we took a bus to Paddington Station, which was a short walk from our Days Inn hotel. Upon check-in, we discovered that our hotel room Read More »
We returned to London on Sunday May 28, 2006 on the Eurostar. This time we stayed at the Thistle hotel in Marble Arch. It is right on Oxford Street, with its shopping and bustle, like living on 5th Avenue in New York. Oxford St has lots of clothing stores, H&M, Zara, Marks & Spencer, Selfridges, Debenhams, etc. Read More »
For breakfast, I had what Michelle normally has, which isn’t incredibly different from my own. She has a cup of English tea and a crumpet with some jam. I selected Apricot Jam, which was to become a pattern anytime I was given a choice. I became a fan of the crumpet, which apparently is very Read More »
