two more dead

oi,

apparently london has a problem with deaths caused by stabbing. some french was stabbed over 190 times a couple of days ago.
went out to a bar with will's headchef and waitresses in the city of wimbeldon. been taking lots of trains and underground railways around town; bought an oyster card today, it rules. met up with scarlett, a good friend from ubc. went to camden with her- basically the place for 'alternative' tourists and locals, if that makes any sense. london is super touristy, i've heard/seen lots of germans; no mexicans so far though. i don't want to see stonehenge.

the plane ride wasn't too bad over here, except for this 'great looking' dad, with his daughter who pushed me into the side of a wheelchair at the chicago airport as i tried passing through. to top it off, his daughter told me 'to chill out, dude' in the most idiotic approach possible regarding its delivery. whatever, on the next plane flight (which i almost missed due to the aforementioned peeps) i got 3 seats all for myself in the middle rows. arrived in london, took the train into central london specifically the most happening place basically for tourists (big ben, buckingham palace, trafalgar)... hung out at the waterloo train station for way too long, refused to pay 30pence for the toilet for about 3 hours but ended giving in.

should probably start taking pictures, but til then, this is what bbc has to say about camden:
