Can't talk, l'internet est trop cher a paris! Lesson learned yesterday: dont leave cash, credit cards or er toiletries lying around and dont trust dodgy french blokes who could break into your locker while you're out. Yes I got robbed after only four days, budget is reduced but the beat goes on. Tomorrow I will go to see Saian Supa Crew, a French Hip Hip group, at le Bataclan. The next day I will go to Tours. So far lots of sightseeing has been...

Day 2 - London, England Sleeping was interrupted by the Australian couple departing to catch their early flight to India, stopping on the way to sri lanka, on the way to singapore, next to which my journey pales into insignificance, but i still beat the guy i spoke to in the kitchen who's here working.

T minus 3 days Hello, this is my first ever blog, so go easy on me. This is some kind of introduction but assumes you know who i am and dont need to hear my admittedly dull life story, hopefully this blog will be interesting when i finally get out the house. I'm not sure anyone will read this so I may just be recording my own thoughts but that could be useful. Maybe i'll donate them to science. Its now Friday 17th March and i think i'm finally rea...
