london calling

after five previous visits to London, with each of them failed attempts to catch up with my mate Gav, this time i was determined to see him!

and it was worth the wait! i hadn't seen Gav for about two long years since we met in Sydney, so i was obviously so stoked to see him! and it was a day of catch-ups, with me also being lucky enough to catch up with my mates Terry and Andy who i haven't seen in close to a year, and of course my good mate Tommy Tommy -- who i have seen a lot more recently, but that didn't diminish the fun we had!


this trip to london was also my first time to venture into a club in London, and i see what all the fuss is about -- great venues, great music, great eye-candy -- but then again, i was never going to have a bad time when surrounded with such good company


however, i will admit that it's not so much fun when your jet-lag dictates that at 5:30am it's time to leave the club, but the train that takes you home to your hotel doesn't arrive til 6:30am, and you're sitting outside the train station in the freezing cold -- so you wander about the city late at night, staring at the crowds, potentially inviting danger -- and see a shining light: an angel in the form of a nightbus -- just sitting there, big and warm, waiting to take you to your massive bed with those hotel linens. i swear i'm a big fan of public transport, but never, never have i been so happy to see a bus before in my entire life


so thanks guys, for showing me a great time -- let's do it all again soon, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah!




stay tuned, next week: BEIJING!!!


let the good times roll!!
