26/7/07



its the 2nd day in London alr. i didn't bother writing anything here yesterday. i promtly dropped off to sleep at 9:30pm (s'pore 3am?).



the flight was quite different from normal. usually when i go somewhere, i always start by zamming the inflight entertainment. my movie marathon is usually at least 3 movies long. its only when i go back when i reflect on the trip and think back. this time was different! the flight wasn't full so there were some empty rows at the back. i spent nearly half my time there. sleeping, thinking, writing. some pple shall get letters from me when i'm back. muahaha..



things i like about flying as always: take off, as much turbulence as possible. i usually hate landing cos my ears don't pop properly. i got to know the scientific term for it when i went to nz. i can't rmb now though.. the way down on the flight was interesting this time, cos we got to see the English landscape from above. houses, cars (normal on other flights too), bus depots, nice old buildings, the river thames. i got the impression that there was a $general buzz of activity going on in the town.



weather in london is gorgeous. the air conditioned outdoors is soooooooo good. unlike in spore where class bench you sweat shao and in the audi you freeze shao. we arrived at three pm then got stuck at customs for awhile. the customs officer was (pissed ?) that we didn't have a guardian with us. in the end we reached ramsay at around 5.

the underground in london is less convenient than singapore! it's the only place in London that reminds me of singapore weather. hot and stuffy inside trains and there are warm drafts of wind in the tunnels. ewww. and when they tell you to mind the gap, they really mean it (cos its a step onto the train). we had to carry our luggate up the steps instead of an escalator too. #

the rest of the day: orientation dinner briefing bar jason's room sleep.
