Well, traveling to London was par for the course. My luggage was delivered to my residence three days after I arrived (aka they lost it). Of course I also got the full traveling experience with delayed flights and missed planes. I successfully retained consciousness for well over thirty hours while not falling into the tempting snares of psychosis. I will call the adventure an overwhelming victory.
So far London has been a fairly easy place to live. Necessities are close by, and our location in the center of London allows us to access many aspects of the city within a few minutes walk. Our first night included a hearty dinner of fish and chips that served as an introduction into British culture. Last night I attended the War Horse play at the New London Theatre. Since any kind of theatre performances are not usually my cup of tea, I was skeptical at the thought of attending a play that would also include musical tastes; however, the play was excellent and I enjoyed the engrossing plot that prevented me from blinking a single time the whole night.
Side Note: This weather is the bomb-diggity! It's so sunny and warm - I don't even have to don a jacket!
