After some time in Piccadilly I decided it was a little too much and
moved on to a quieter venue. I packed my bags and got that port back down those
stairs all the way to kings cross-station. I was now checking into Anna House hostel, the ppl that
signed me in were crazy, but nice. It was to be my first night in a 16-bed
dorm, thank gosh it was just me and another guy (German of course). The rest
came in Late in the night. I checked out into a 4bed dorm the next day where I
still am. The first day I walked
around wasn’t great. They are in spring and have itchy bomb trees. You know the
trees back in school that drop those ball you break open and put down ppls
shirts so they get all itchy. So over here they are broken apart and will that
relentless wind fly around in the air. It was horrible I felt like someone was
rubbing them in my eyes, it was like god was getting me back from all the times
I had put them down someone’s shirt. Not to mention they got in all your
clothes so I was itching everywhere, I had to come home and have a shower.
Another thing I still haven’t figured out is the traffic lights, they go green
but don’t make any noise so Im always standing there for ages till I figure it
out. Stupid tourist but man what about the blind.
But now I have used the tube abit so I can give my first thoughts on the
subject, they are pretty amazing on time, frequent, and fast. They are placed
out very logically into different coloured and named lines. They are just a
little on the small side (defo London isn’t made for the tall) and very bumpy
but that’s kind of fun.
A week in and I'm still at the hostel, the only thing to complain about
is the showers trying to find the best one as some of them are to hot and other’s
to cold. Not to mention I don’t really have a towel, I've been use the virgin
Atlantic blanket as my towel. (thank you Mr. Bansion) That just might be
contributing to my bad experience with the shower but hey I’ve been making
Mandy proud and not having to many! To my defence it’s just to hard you have to
bring all your stuff with you, its cold and just better with out it.
Food food food hmmmmm not so great, I mean there is enough Indian around
to feed the whole of India but the only problem is no butter chicken (I know)
the only curry I like and they don’t have it disappointing!. Other then that
they have this place called MnS everywhere, basically its like a little
supermarket full of already made food. So sandwiches, nuke them meals, bases
like prawns meat etc then salad or rice or pasta, then sauce. (combine it and
vola a meal) Its all right as I get this pasta which is 2pounds for a meal
pretty good.
Went to a supermarket yesterday, to be honest that was my second one the
first salsbury or something was massive and packed I quickly got something and
left. But the second one Tesco, not as big but still big enough like an express
Coles I would say. Anyhow I really felt like some beef or chicken 2min noodles,
didn’t have any in the convenience stores so I walked to the supermarket to get
some. Well what do you know no 2min noodles, should I say that again none. Well
there was like this tiny shelf of 2min noodles and just guess what flavour they
all were CURRY. Alcohol different
story shelves of it in the middle of the store, and you wouldn’t guess but yes sprits
way cheaper then wine. Oh and barcadi breezes big bottles like a long neck only
fatter. Not wonder why they are all drunks cheap and easy to get.
