arrivals & discoveries

British word of the day: queue - a standing line (eg: "Please form a queue behind the counter.")

I've landed, if you couldn't tell.

We made about four circles 'round a city name Something-Upon-Something (the exact name escapes me) and then finally landed in London/Heathrow.

From there I took a rather EXPENSIVE coach to Oxford and then took a taxi to Crick Road. This will be home for the next 3 months. The bathroom smells like fresh paint and there seems to be an endless supply of tea. What kind of island is this?

Because of impending jet lag, many girls at the Crick went for a walk with a girl in her second semester. It was cold, brisk, invigorating (yes, all that) and within minutes, I couldn't remember whether I had toes or not. I checked when I returned and indeed i did have them. I placed them immediately above the room's heater.

i have some clocks to reset and some e-mails to respond to as well as a bit of skype-ish things to download, so excuse me.

cheers!

  1. Stratford upon Avon?

    Go there if you get a chance. Shakespeare's home.
