Not going to lie... my head is pounding

Well... it's been an eventful few days.
Dalia and I have been tubing around, seeing the sights, doing stuff... ok we've been shopping the whole time.
Just kidding. Mostly.
Some highlights:
Dalia's old roommate, Adeline, lives here in London. Her and her boyfriend have shown us two wicked restaurants. One down in the Oxford area that served really authentic thai food, and last night the AMAZING Mediterranean restaurant in the Angel area. It was total tasty.

The other night Dalia and I went to Avenue Q in the West End. It was in the Noel Coward theatre, which was gorgeous and intimate, and still had leg room! I overheard 4 people talking in the hallway about all being from Calgary. Canadians are everywhere. Goddamn tourists.

Last night we went to this club called Fabric- the "it" club in London. Well, it was pretty spectacular. We arrived at 10:15 (it opened at 10), and there was already a line around the corner and down the street, all controlled by various moving dividers and a million bouncers. I felt like we were cattle at a slaughter house. They were still filling the club, though, so we got in pretty quick. The cover was 15 Pounds- $30 Canadian! That was kind of sick... so far I was feeling cynical. But then we got in and started looking around- it was like nothing I'd ever seen. It spanned 4 or 5 floors under ground. It consisted of 3 different big rooms- The hip hop room had the biggest bar, and this huge room with a dance floor, stage, and DJ booth. It was pretty dead at first, but later the BEST DJ I've ever heard- some guy from New York, was spinning and everyone went pretty crazy in there.- Then there was the drum and bass room- it was this epic sized room surrounded in stages and FILLED with fog. The bass was so heavy that you could seriously seriously feel it vibrate in your chest. I loved this room, but you could seriously only spend so much time in it before the phlegm rattling in your chest was too much to take. -Finally there was the house music room which we spent the least amount of time in. It was pretty tiny, but the layout was cool. A bunch of the rooms had these sofas and huge beds so we spent a bit of time lounging drunkenly. I'm not going to go too far into detail about just how expensive this evening was. Let's just say that drinks were about $14, and the cab ride home was a flat rate of 22 Pounds. Crapolla!

Other highlights include Camden Market, Oxford Street (the whole thing), and Sheesha here in the Bayswater area, until these guys from Northern England started getting racist and homophobic. But I did manage to convince them that there's this singer in Canada named Nick Green who is pretty much a household name.

Anyways... today (eventually) we're off to Portobello Market, and then probably a bit more partying tonight.

I don't know how many of you have heard about the Eurostar issues and the chunnel fire. They were predicting that trains wouldn't run for 10 days... or 2 months.. so then I was making other plans to go to Bristol, much to my chagrin... but THEN today it's saying that SOME trains are running and that we're to just show up at the station and wait around and hope to get on to the train. It's a crappy situation. Hopeful there will be more info tomorrow.

Well, I must get on with the day.
Hope you're all well!

Love
Nick
