Happy Bonfire Night!

Bonfire Night

Don't even think about grinning!

Happy Bonfire Night to all my friends in the UK!

(Now why can’t we have cool holidays like that?) :)

Granted…as Dale pointed out, we do get to dress up like ghouls in October and play with explosives in July, I guess I would just like to burn an effigy of someone without having to submit myself to the Burning Man festival.  Hmmmm…..

England

Well…I have just spent a cold, rainy, but incredible week in England - including London, lots of time in the north, and Stonehenge. London still maintains its title as my favorite city in the world.

I had no internet access in England, so I have yet to upload pics or write anything. It did happen though, I promise. Now that I am in China and am being bombarded by the sights and sounds of Asia, I am going to try to write about England when I can. Unfortunately, it already seems literally a world away.

My roomies which included a Chinese girl in the bed above me, a Spanish guy to my left, and a 40+ yr old English woman, were all snoozing away when I left at around 08:00. A shower rendered me half-human again after my night of craic in London and within the hour I was walking to the Piccadilly Tube station beneath the weight of my pack. Inside was a bulging array of nasty laundry, a 4ft tall disassembled shisha pipe, and a collection of oddities from Europe and Egypt, including 4 books (I really need to find a hobby that weighs less).

There was a familiar sadness in my heart of leaving, but also a quickness in my steps because yet again…

I was on my way home!
