So Bella Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hey guys. This morning I had my free breakfast, and who walked in - Yemi (don't ask me to spell the name, let alone, pronounce it!!) I said hello - and it was nice to meet him that I was here for the convention. He was so nice - and I guess he's british because he spoke with a brit accent. He asked what was good - and I said I didn't know yet as it was my first breakfast here - so I stuck to coffee, toast and fruit. He said he'd do the same. Then I said - bye, hope we have a great time... he said cheers and bye... and then I sat down. He sat at the table next to me and we ignored each other. I thought it better to leave the guy in peace...so I read the paper. When he got up to leave he said goodbye again. Then, I went shopping in town and came back to the hotel. Sat outside at the picnic tables to have a smoke and drink my strawberry smoothie. He came walking outside. I said... hello again... lol. He stopped to chat a few minutes and then he left for shopping. Really great guy. I'm sure this will be fun. xo Bella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Bella Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 He sounds one cool guy , makes your journey all worthwhile Well, it's been good so far. I'm having a blast, walking around this town (which is really cute) going in the shops, comparing prices (how the hell do you afford to live here? things are expensive!!!) . The people are nice too. I met some kids at the corner cafe - and we made conversation. You have no idea how good it feels to talk to people in a place you don't know anyone!! OK.. I'll sign off now. The internet here at the park inn is ridiculously expensive - but I had to buy some time to chat with my daughter and hubby. xo B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted April 4, 2008 Showmasters Admin Share Posted April 4, 2008 But compared to the US our prices are madness. Especially with the exchange rate at the moment. In some shop over there I've noticed a lot of thing the same price in $s as here in £s and that makes them half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm no expert. LOL. I don't have the time to visit around London.. But the shops here, even the less expensive ones.. WOW. Or it might be that I'm a cheapie. xo B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarina Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I forgot to say, but make sure the battery of your laptop is fully charged, because when we went to the MacDonalds we couldn't find a socket to plug the laptop in o.O As for cheap stores: I found a bookstore in the mall which was called "Publisher's Book Clearance" which had all books for 2 quid each. I wanted to buy an entire series but it didn't fit in my suitcase so I just bought a few copies LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
