i love the anonymity;

Well. I am no longer in Poland!!
That's right folks. Its goodbye to being an au pair and eating pierogi and stuff and hello to LONDON.
Although, getting here was a bit of a disaster.
My plane was supposed to leave at 6am. I got to the airport at like 4:45am, went though security, and then the dude who looks at passports was looking at mine and was like "where are the stamps?" and I was like well I was in Paris before I was here and the guy just looked at it and gave it back and didn't stamp it. Then when I got to Poland no one was even THERE to stamp anyone's passports. SO yeah. And then the guy was all annoyed because there was NO PROOF of how long I'd been there. BUH. SO he made me sit down to the side and called someone. Idk who it was. Maybe Barack Obama. AND then he was like ok its fine and let me go through. DUH ITS FINE I'M NO FOOL.
Anyway, then we boarded the plane on time, all was well, and we were about to take off when the captain said there were signs of a maintenance issue... so we had to go back and park and sit there while they looked at the plane.. TWICE. We sat there for over an hour. AND THEN they were like uhh the plane is broken everyone go back inside the airport. SO we did. About an hour later they announced the plane would be leaving at 2:30. I took a nap and was annoyed but it happens. THEN we got in line to board the plane for that, but then they were like uh nevermind its delayed again. Then bascally it was a huge hot mess of them not telling us anything and to make a long story short, we sat there until like 7:30.. then we all got in line to board again. AND WE STOOD THERE FOR OVER AN HOUR. WHY. And then we finally started boarding at like 9pm.
-____-
FIFTEEN HOUR DELAY.
RIDICULOUS.

When I got to London thank God Sara ended up coming to the airport to find me because all my money was Polish and the money changing place was closed and we had to take a weird train route because things were closed... we actually had to take a cab to her room from one of the train places. So yeah. Thank God she was there because I would have been SO LOST.

Yesterday we went to this outdoor market and to this giant mall at Canary Wharf and this gorgeous park in Greenwich (and ate ice cream cones!) and today I have seen the London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Tate Modern, and went to this outdoor food market thing where people sold different ethnic foods. All I got was an Italian bruschetta but if its a thing they do every day I might go back and try something else. I also went in some random stores and souvenir shops. And I also had a strawberry soda which was delicious. Right now I'm sitting in a Starbucks so I can have internet (because I don't have internet at Sara's) & trying to decide what to eat for dinner...

Anyway, I am having fun and it is awesome here.
All for now.
