Absence notice

Postby SekoETC » Thu May 05, 2005 10:32 am

London!

Many people already heard about this but still, never waste a chance to start another meaningless topic. The bus to the airport leaves in... two hours and 4 minutes. Or then two hours and 19 minutes if it wasn't changed after all. Anyway, in two hours I'll be standing on the school yard with my totally embarrassing suitcase which I borrowed from my mom...

When in London, (if I get there alive), I'll try to find Internet access somewhere but naturally I won't be online so much. In the next seven days. It is a class trip, got some activities every day but only in the mornings. So I'll have plenty of time to get bored and waste my food money on Web cafés...

Yes, have fun! But remember that even people in London waste plenty of time online. :D

I hope you've made arrangements for all your characters to be taken care of. (Though what will become of poor, innocent Jonas? :twisted: )

You know what the closest web access is just downstairs in my hotel (th regent palace hotel) but this costs 1 pound for 15 minutes and that sucks. I'm sure there are cheaper places, could someone search me a good one? If I start using google here I'll just end up wasting the last of my money, eeek five minutes left, ok I have two more coins but if I keep staying here then soon I gotta run to Tesco again and that shop clerk went a bit frowny when I pay 2.80 shoppings with 10 pound note.

Never stayed in a London hotel... seeing as I live under an hour away.

Usually. Sheffield is obviously further away. :roll:

Ok downstairs of Burger king now, 2 pounds for an hour. Unlimited access for five days if I'd pay £12, hmm... I'm tempted to try that, spent over an hour running around the blocks searching for other places but all I saw was McDonalds and there was only a few computers, all occupied.

About the hotel, it's a total maze, first night we had to run around the floor for ages before finding our room (I'm sharing a room with one of the girls from my class). Haha, we got a room with actually two little rooms and a sliding door in the middle though I haven't bothered to close it yet. All the others have beds close to each other. It's damn cold in there, we already took extra blankets and spent a few hours napping in the afternoon, actually she was still sleeping when I left. Now another classmate just called asking where is this girl so I don't know if she's managed to get lost already or if she's just a sound sleeper.

Are random places with Internet common elsewhere? The only place with computers here is the library . . . Kind of a strange place for free Internet access, you'd think someone would go to a library to read <i>books</i>. :roll:

It's not like that where you live?

I need to travel more. :wink:
