Back from London

Sat Jul 25, 2009, 7:10 AM
First of all, I actually got back on Thursday, but I had so many other things to do before this (like playing my new games =P ) that I didn't have the time until now.

So, London was great, even though it didn't really differ much from Helsinki and it rained for most of the time. I didn't get much digital photos, only 130 :D, but most of them are from the British Museum so maybe not exactly the type to upload here. I did get a full roll of photos on my Canonet and I'm guessing it was colour film (once again I'm not really sure, 'cause it had been in the camera for a month or so) and though it was really rainy, it was rather warm, some might say hot; around 22C (don't know how to get the little circle there =P ). Especially I liked the Lloyd's building and the Gherkin and the area was the best; every single person that walked there was wearing a black suit (women of course a dress or something like that) and at that time it was getting really hot so: black+sunlight=not so comfy :)

Also one thing there was great; all cd's, games, dvd's and that sort of things were really cheap, so I went crazy (to my usual spending level at least) and bought two cd's (Arctic Monkeys's Favourite Worst Nightmare (love it) and Kaiser Chiefs's Off With Their Heads (not as good as their older albums)) and two pc-games (Assassin's Creed, which was not allowed to people younger than 15 and I still got asked for an ID, dammit, and Mirror's Edge). The CD's cost only 10£ together (from HMV) and the games I got for the amazing combined price of 25£ (from Game (kinda logical place to buy games, eh :D)) If I'd bought them from Finland, they would've costed me something around 100€ (about 86,7£;), so I got them about 51,7£ cheaper!

Few things I've got to complain about: Why haven't the undergrounds (don't know if I can say it like that in plural) got any air conditioning, it's especially horrible during the rush hours, and one had air conditioning but it was turned to the hottest position, wtf? And another thing, why aren't there any rubbish bins. The only ones I found were right next to some tourist attractions like the Tower of London.

So, for those who haven't been to London, I really suggest you to go there. And I'm hoping the film photos were succesful.

  • Mood: Happy
  • Listening to: My new cd's
  • Playing: Assassin's Creed, TF2, Mirror's Edge
