From London
I am in the London airport right now (March 22), sitting in the “Quiet Room” with my parents. So I’m typing this on Word, because I’m not hooked up to the Internet. Right now it is 7:28 am, Canadian time, and … 3:30 pm (because it took me so long to change the time on my computer…) London, England. Wow. I’m in England. The only difference I’ve noticed (because all I’m seeing of England is an airport) is that the warnings for fine/price signs are in pounds. Also, one store was having a mother’s day sale – March 26.
Taking off was neat because I had the window seat, and could see the city of Vancouver illuminated with all of the lights. After that, it was dark outside, and we were above the clouds. The flight was good, and went by really fast, I watched about 5 minutes of Pride & Prejudice, but it was really repetitive after watching Bride & Prejudice- the lines were almost the exact same- so I channel surfed a bit, watched the map, and went to sleep. The meals on British Airways are good! They even serve mini bottles of wine. But, for the meat, salmon is better than chicken, chicken is better than beef. I got chicken.
Everyone told me that large airplanes were incredibly cold, and that I would freeze- but instead, I was so hot I had to take off my jacket, and I was still sweating. I don’t sweat.
I had my first experience using an airplane bathroom, and it was interesting… small, and the sink sucked everything down an air tube. Except, when I cam out of the bathroom, I noticed the bottom of my pants were all wet, which is disgusting. My mom went to the bathroom, and noticed there was pee all over the floor-, which I didn’t notice. So my pants have pee that isn’t mine dried on them.
Our flight to Lusaka leaves in three hours, and I’m looking forward to some sun, I guess. It’s grey and cloudy here- pretty much like home. I think I might have seen someone famous. She looked familiar, and I was trying to figure out who she was, when I remembered a documentary I saw on TV. An author who used to write vampire books, recently completely turned around, and started to write Catholic books- but I don’t remember her name. I think it was her.
Well, I am going for a walk with my dad now, so my legs don’t hurt too much on the next flight.
