Leaving For London in One Week

It’s that time of year again where Christopher Law goes on another adventure somewhere in the world.  This time it is back to London.  Unfortunately last time I went to the UK I didn’t really get a chance to post all my photos here.  You can still check them out on my Google+ page.  I will be dishing out a fresh new set of photos that I do plan on posting here.  I will try and post something everyday, so look out for that.  If you’re looking for food photos though I’ll be doing that on my other site munchonthese.com.  It’s currently loaded with snapshots of some foods, but I’ll do a little more in-depth reviews when I’m in London.

I do plan on visiting some other towns around UK.  However, I want to really chill out in the city and get used it to it.  I did hook myself up with some Meet Up groups, so I’ll be joining some hiking groups and such that do walks around the more trek type areas.  Might make a short trip to Paris for the French open.  Although, it might be too late for even grounds tickets.  I’m also thinking of going to the town of Bath.  It’s a resort city in the UK.  They have the Sunrise Festival around this time of year.  I actually have no idea what it is, but it seems like a huge event where people gather every year.  The only thing I actually have planned is this orchestra concert I’m attending; Final Symphony.  It’s a Final Fantasy concert; gamers will know what it is.  But, Nobuo is going to be there! Autographs.  If anyone has any ideas of what I must absolutely do in London shoot away in the comment section below.

I will be making another post before I leave.  Going to show off how I’ve packed this time.  I managed to fit enough for three weeks in two pieces of carry-on.  I do have a method for bring back stuff though.  Anyway, make sure to follow this blog and my other one for the full report on my travels! And thanks to everyone who’s helped support my blog!

Surviving New York City

Those of you who know me on Facebook have probably seen quite a few of the foods I’ve had already on this one week pig fest.  I’ve made it my sworn mission to eat at as many restaurants in New York City (NYC) as I can possibly can.  How is it possible to have 5 full meals a day you ask?  By slowly pacing myself, bit by bit.  Don’t worry I’m pretty sure my GI health is doing fine, things seem fine on the bottom end of the world.

Today is my sixth day in the city.  Though I feel fine, I’ve decided to take it easy today – on my stomach – and relax at a Starbucks while I write this blog.  I thought I’d share with everyone my thoughts on the city and my experiences getting here, living here, and most importantly, eating here.  I’ll talk mostly about the first two things and food will come in a later post.

Winter Tour: The Great Berliner Experience

I made it to Berlin! I have to say I love this city so far. It’s probably the most foreign city to me but overall it was pretty damn good. Now I say foreign because in France, I can get by with speaking French, England, obviously, and Holland I can always call up my uncle, but Germany, I know pretty much NOTHING. I more or less walk into random restaurants and get someone to explain the menu to me. If that doesn’t work then, I guess I have no choice but to walk out. But, I have to give it to Germans. They are really patient in trying to explain things to me, even if their English is limited or non-existent.

Winter Tour: AmsterDAM!

This trip has been full of rain, but it hasn’t got my sprits down yet. Even with all the rain, still ended up visiting enough of Amsterdam to be satisfied. This time around I was much more rested than the last few city changes, probably because I took the train from Paris to Amsterdam this time around. Taking Thalys’s high speed rail is always a joy. It’s a 3 hour ride so that’s a long enough nap, plus the previous night’s sleep. I was well rested and ready to spend the rest of the day exploring Amsterdam, once I arrived.

Winter Tour: Paris Revisited, Another Side

A grand return to the city that I absolutely dread returning.  I’ll be honest.  Paris really isn’t my favourite city to visit in France.  I’d much rather go to the country side and visit some cheese farms and drink wine out of kegs.  But alas, I’ve returned.  There’s still plenty for me to see though.  The last time I was there I didn’t really get to see everything.
