Pete found a dingy live music and open mic nite venue. It looked great!! In Angel

I like the high risk of getting lost making adventure literally at your doorstep. I like that where you're busting to piss you can't revert back to old cultural rituals by simply flopping it out on the street (God damn well lit streets), or nearest bush (everything is Fucking fenced off, parks are locked at night). That you must be more civilized. I like that I've eaten chips for dinner every night since I've been here and that the you don't see chickens feet sticking out of the local broth.

When you have only experienced London from afar, that is, seen it on tele, you automatically are confronted by how accurate the tele is. Everything looks the same as its shown you but bigger, dirtier, more imposing. I feels like I've been here before, walked the streets, talked to the crazies, the drunks selling the Big Issue, or am I thinking of the Gold Coast? And even though I'm yet to see the Antique Road Show banner parked outside of some Fulham townhall, the city is filled with antiquities so you don't feel cheated.

Such a wonderful idea for the blog, I am sitting here trying to finish a couple of assignments (one of them writing my own blog, would you believe) and I thought I would stop by and see the updates. Very jealous I wish I was there too! Are you posting these at a internet café or did you take a laptop? I was just wondering. Full points for actually taking the time to write it I know me and I would have put it off, put it off, put it off and probably still would have been in the pub. Very funny Pete, Captain’s Blog it reminded me of StarTrek. :)

Love you both lots

Hey Pete & Rochelle, really enjoying the tales of your big adventure. It's now my favorite website. Your becoming quite a switched on little I.T. thing aren't you. The cat Sanctuary Story warmed my heart, but you know how I prefer animals to people.

Love
Ross.
