This is definately not appropriate for the forums.

edit: Or anywhere really, IMO. If you want to be ignorant racists, do it somewhere else.

Shes not an ignorant Racist. She just might not see alot of people of color where she lives. So it might strike her as odd.

And I'm with Sarah. The only place with a web connection thats public are schools and librarys. A burger King with a connection sounds very weird and out of place to me...

PS. Have a good time over there. Tell me if it's as rainy as the movies make it out to be.

Welcome to London Seeks...

I meant to say before, but you should check out China town - it's just round the back of Leicester square there's some good restaurants and noodle bars there. And if you've got a map - head towards Berwick street - it comes off of Oxford street and joins onto the seedier narrow street in Soho - my favourite record shops are there, and Red Veg, a great burger shop, is on an adjoining street

Hope you're having fun

Is the Red Veg the place with the Blue Cheese burger? I had the best burger I've ever had in London near Leicester Square, but I forgot to note the name.

Probably not - Red Veg is totally vegetarian... But SO good...

We only have computers at the library and college here.

Of course, they're always free...

(And newspaper sellers are scary, dammit, what's wrong with that?)

New York's a whole lot funner that London, I'd say, most subjectively.

Maybe that's because you live in NY? - London is the best place in the world

bar, maybe, Prague

Is it always as rainy as they make it look in the movies?

My interprettation of the place from it is that its very grey, wet and rainy. Not to mention that great stereotype. The teeth one.

Tonight, I was looking at the Brooklyn Bridge with the lights in the dark- and realized how beautiful it was.

Gotta love Prague. Those crazy Czechs and their drinking laws...

Oh, and the city is nice as well. :wink:

I wandered the streets of downtown Indianapolis for a bit tonight. I had a great time. I think you guys can keep your huge cities. There's a lot to be had in the midwest. Totally underrated. One of these days before I get out of Indiana, I'm definitely going to have to get tickets to the 500.

Yeah I didn't mean it in a racistic way. But indeed it looks a bit odd to run into such a coctail of races and nationalities. In the streets I hear more French than English, some German too. When I was a kid, there was just one black family in my town. Now there's a bit more but still I don't run into them so often. Kotka has mostly Russians, some Turks and some Somalians. Helsinki is more multicultural, it's quite like London exept four times less people I think and less Chinese.

I spent about three hours today trying to find my way back from Tate Modern Gallery. My roommate had managed to get to the hotel in about 45 minutes. I think I got to Charing Cross OK but then took the wrong way and ended up in New Oxford Street where I again took the wrong way and only when seeing High Holborn sign I finally admitted to myself that it was the wrong way, then I went the other way until Regent Street and down there. By that time my legs were totally in pain. So if someone asks why I'm just sitting here and not dragging myself farther than Tesco then I'll bite their head off.

Yesterday I was quite tired when logging out, one black guy asked me "are you ok miss, you look a bit odd", and I said "I should go sleeping". I think he asked "do you sleep here?" I don't remember if I replied at all. It's good to have a room with a bed in the hotel, even if it's a cold place. I've seen people sleeping on the street, and there was this one guy sitting in the rain with a blanket over his head and a sign that says Hungry and Homeless. So I gave him some pennies. Ok they're probably just buying booze with it but I don't use the small coins anyway.

I wandered through Chinatown yesterday, didn't stop much. There were many places with roasted birds hanging in the windows. It looks like a totally different world.

Here, a radio playing broken music... Quite loud. I hope they would switch it off. I'm getting distracted.
