My first week in the UK was basically summed up in a single sentence-Shannon sits at a computer and looks for a flat. Meaning all of what I saw was the inside of the tube and thus I have no amusing or funny stories other then how high the rent is in this area of the UK. And the act that a creepy Egyptian guy in his overtures of flirtation actually touched my lips and said-you have nice lips. I found this an odd comment I never really considered lips to be a big draw. They can certainly count against you if you have a twisted lip or cleft pallet or something but I never thought of lips as a feature to attract someone with the obivious exception of Brad Pitt’s present love interest.
I am willing to admit that my favorite part of the UK was my trip to the theatre tonight-I saw Chicago-not the city for those of you clever enough to make that joke-the play. I would like to say that the play is very well done in the UK the dancing is great and it helps that there are many extremely well muscled dancers in nice tight black outfits. But overall it was very fun-side note in the stage play the Velma (that is Catherine Z’s character from the film) her story is never concluded you never find out how she is aquited. I also got a pedicure for 12 pounds it seemed a worthwhile venture-turned out very cute and I was pleased with the results-but then I had to buy the cute strappy saddles three doors down that not only showed off my new toes are surprisingly comfortable for only being 19.99 quid.
But since nothing is new on the UK front I thought I would talk a bit about Venice which is a lovely city- I enjoyed the outer islands of murano and burano with it’s houses like tiny jewels. The city was to crowded for me to really enjoy anything and it rained and I was stranded in Venice. Thus I am sad to say I did not enjoy my final destination. But tomorrow I am looking forward to moving into a permenant abode for the next four months.
So Ciao for now!!
