This breakfast line is insane! I want my coffee!
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009I’ve been twittering alot cause my vodafone has free twitter via SMS You can follow me at http://www.twitter.com/maitwit.
It’s 7:15 a.m. I woke up in a sweat and rushed immediately to beat the morning shower rush. I think I may be getting a little old for hostels. Everyone here is pubescent. Oh well, they can look at me as a motherly figure 
So here’s a quick run down of what I’ve been up to.
I took AirAsia X to London. It was a smooth flight and I was lucky no one sat next to me on the flight so I got to use both seats as my temp. “bed”. Despite what people think, the seats DO recline – well at least the plane I took. It was the OAKLAND RAIDERS sponsored plane! I highly advise people to pre-pick their seats. I strategically chose mine so they were close enough to the toilets. The food was decent but was finished in .5 seconds.
Immigration took about 30 mins and probably another 30 mins to wait for my luggage to arrive. I made it just in time to catch the 1800 bus from Stansted Airport to Liverspool St. in downtown London.
Jump to the part where I reach the hostel (Smart Russell Square). It’s close to the Russell Sq. tube station which is a plus. They screwed my booking up though. When I booked my rooms, I accidentally double booked ONE NIGHT so I wrote them to cancel that ONE night. What they did was cancel that ONE night along with the last TWO nights as well. I think anyone with a decent command of English would understand what I meant in my email, but instead of apologizing one of the people behind the desk wanted to “challenge” my email. Whatever. I ended up paying extra for the last two nights cause they put me in a 6 person room. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise cause a 24 person room is kind of a mess. The bunks go up to three levels, everyone’s things are on the floor and it’s hot.
BUTTTTTTT…. I met with Gina last night and I traded one of my July 3rd Blur @ Hyde Park tickets for a July 2nd Blur @ Hyde Park ticket…which is…. today!
Jump to the present where I’m sitting in the Hostel breakfast room where I think the average age of people is 17. SIGH….
Picture post coming up…
