London: Fresh Off the Plane & Delirious
Still got twenty minutes on this computer so I thought might as well, even though I don't really have much to say since I only got off the plane three hours ago.
London is very pretty in a bustling city-that-works kinda way--not that I can decribe it better than the next person--and very green. It's already quite warm here, although the morning air still carries that English chill.
I'm staying in Earl's Court this time in London, which is right on the damarcation line between central London and that other aptly named "Zone 2". It was an Aussie slum before but has come a long way in gentrification. I actually like this area a lot, again for its workaday quality. On my way here I actually saw people jogging(!), grocery shopping(!), and people of colour(!). There are tons of restaurants on Earl's Court Rd., most of them touristy but not as touristy as central London locations. This main drag reminds me of the Annex in more ways than one.
