The Royal Palaces

By urbanblitz • Oct 29th, 2001 • Category: Miscellaneous, Travel

Yesterday, I went to Hampton Court with Kat and Dean. It was pretty cool. The strange thing was that the admission fee cost more then my rail ticket. I found that a bit amusing. We more or less wander the grounds and took some pretty pictures with wabbit. And round and round we went in [...]



Closed

Bah! So while we were in Oxford we were going to go punting. It’s kind of like going down with a raft and paddle. So we got to the boat house and it was closed. Blah! At this point I was in dire need of caffeine. So we were going to head to Alice tea [...]



Mating Season

By urbanblitz • Oct 27th, 2001 • Category: Travel

If you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking get your mind out of the gutter or the shaft. Whatever! It seems like it’s a major mating season for animals right now. Ducks and sheeps. On my way to Bath we saw these sheeps and they look like the were spray painted on their hinneys with [...]



College Towns

To Oxford we go! I was bad today. Well not really. The stupid machine at Paddington rail station wouldn’t take my £20, and the ticket line was way long. I was going to pay for my fare on the train, but the ticket guy didn’t come around. So I’m guilty of being a fare beater [...]



Mishaps and Misadventure

So I finally met Ben. And he managed to get us lost. Actually we were taking Britrail to Dover. Turns out we can to change trains at Ramsgate and the next train wasn’t coming for another 45 minutes. So we ended up going into town, and we got back to our station, our connection train [...]



Yum Yum Good!

My friend Kat took me out to try some of London famous curry. It was so good! It was kind of scary though. We got off at Liverpool street to go to Bricklane the London’s version of Little India. But in order to get to Brick Lane we had to walk down the path of [...]



Six Degrees

By urbanblitz • Oct 26th, 2001 • Category: Friends & Family, Travel

So I’m sitting here waiting for Ben who went to college with my friend Rio. It makes you realize how small the Asian circle is. I think it’s more of 3 degrees as oppose to 6 degrees. Anyway, he’s going to take me to Dover to see castles. I had a choice of going to [...]



The 3 Hour Tour

By urbanblitz • Oct 25th, 2001 • Category: Travel

Well it really wasn’t a 3 hour tour, but I thought it was funny. Today, I went to the Bath and get Stoned. No, I don’t mean it literally. I’m Mary Poppins, you remember. I only went to see the Stonehenge and Roman Bath. And now I know why I rather travel by myself then [...]



Blackout

By urbanblitz • Oct 24th, 2001 • Category: Travel

I was shopping in this stationary store in Covent Garden when it went pitch black. It was quite strange. The lights in all the stores down the street were all out. Thank god there was still light outside. I can imagine people trying to loot the stores. But I don’t they would get away with [...]
