Uganda #2: Arriving in London
We arrive in London. I am refreshed & feeling great. My mind still hasn't digested the idea that I am traveling a long way or a long time. It feels like I just flew to Chicago.
I find a trendy clothing store called Next. Trends are the same here. I see a bag for 24 lb; multiple that x2 = $48 American dollars. Yikes! I'm bored. I have 9hrs here at London Gatwick airport, so I head for the Delta Crown Club Room to buy a day pass for $50. The service is amazing, the bathrooms clean & they're serving salmon, fish, prawn, chichek & vegetable sandwiches. I am the only minority here & person dressed in JLo velour pants (they're comfy) so I stick out like a sore thumb. Most people are Caucasian or Asian business people with nice suits. People gather around the TV to watch the Olympic Announcement. Most English people scream when they announce London as the 2012 host. I had a slight preference for London over Paris because of the people. I love & speak French but I know French people can sometimes be a little stand-offish.
