A Brilliant Time

Brilliant.  I'm gonna miss hearing people say that.  Such a useful word, and loads cooler than awesome or great.

My three weeks in London completely flew past me.  Just when I started to drink tea everyday and say "sorry" instead of "excuse me."  Oh well, I have a few coins left over, so I will definitely go back some time, because I'm just that kind of penny pincher. *grin* A big thank you to Steph and her flatmates for putting up with me for such a long time.  Here are some of my takeaways from this trip:

Mushy peas.  Just because they're so incredibly not attractive in name or taste.  
kyaaa....look how scary mushy peas are!
Trains.  Guarantee you'll be wide awake at 4:30 AM.  Especially when you're about to miss your 5:00 AM train.
Bananagrams.  A Brit version of scrabble, yet cooler because you can steal words.  Entire words.  mwahaha.
Biscuits.  No, not the kind that you eat with gravy.  The classy kind that you have with tea.  Specifically, puff pastry biscuits are the best.
My biscuit wall.
Cadbury.  The coolest brand of chocolate.  It has temporarily taken over peanut m&ms.
Happiness at Cadbury World.

Now I gotta gear up for Taiwan & Japan =)
