london day 5 - friday

good morning.. i didn't get a chance to write last night, but i had a great last day at work. i was given the OK before i left the states to take the team out to lunch, so we went to ping pong. it was dim sum and amazing. they have jasmine tea that comes to you in a pint glass. the waitress delivers you an empty pint glass with a green ball in the bottom, then she pours hot water over it, and in a few minuted time it grows into a jasmine flower that rests in the bottom of your cup. it looks as though you are drinking aquarium water.





today i am going to walk down to hyde park and get on a double decker tour bus and see the sights. then i can get on and off all day and will get a few things on my list crossed off. in case you are curious, here is my list.

bus tour
dali universe
tate modern
london eye
buckingham palace
tower bridge
westminster abbey (maybe. a little gun shy about "abbeys" after being burned in ireland with the kylemore abbey...)

last night i saw walk the line at the vue in leister square. i paid 12.50 pounds. don't even try to figure out how many dollars that is. good thing it was a great movie. and that joaquin phoenix gave a much better performance then the gay cowboys. i also got popcorn and soda. when i ordered the popcorn, she asked me which flavor i wanted. apparently you can get "salt or sweet", kettle corn or regular corn. i got a mixture. :)

alright, i gotta get on with my day so i can take some good pictures. i have cleaned off my memory card, and charged up the good ole S1..

oh, the pictures have been updated too. i took pictures of my "work colleagues" at lunch.
