I’m in London right now and I’m staying at the Clink Hostel It took me forever to find the place though. Heathrow Airport isn’t exactly walk-friendly (ie – you walk alot!!) Clink Hostel use to be a courthouse where the Clash supposedly went on trial. You can also supposedly sleep in a real police cell (honeymoon ideas perhaps?) Well I’m in a 12 bed dorm. They are set in pod beds which can be quite claustrophobic but it gives you more privacy. There are suppose to be lights but it doesn’t work. Also, a lot of “youngins” here. In their teens perhaps. A good way to say “hey you’re almost 30, you should have an awesome job with your University degree – one that pays you well enough to afford your own room in a fancy hotel. Dorm rooms like these are an interesting concept – you get a sushi bar assortment of different body odours and good organizational practice in tight places… Well I will only be here for 2 nights and then I’m off for the 2nd best thing about this trip – the ROSKILDE FESTIVAL. In case you are wondering what the number one thing is – well it’s my sister’s wedding of course!

I am posting some pictures to sum up my last 24 hours…


 What’s a Ham & Cheese RETRO sandwich? Does it mean it’s expired?

 
Now boarding to London. All aboard Thai Airways flight 0916. Enjoy the turbulence.


Wings over Britain

Welcome to Britain. Be prepared to walk your feet off.


The 12 bed dorm. That’s one of my roomates Doria from Maryland posing for me.
