I love....

Meeting new people. Love it, love it, love it. My favorite thing is learning how they make fun of Americans. We're continually squealing "Oh my God!" using the word "like" incredibly too often, and according to New Zealanders (aka, Kiwis), we don't know how to use the word "wicked".

I was at a pub last night that was playing the Italy v. Ireland football (soccer) game. Those Irish fans are craaaazy!! It was so packed, you could hardly get in the door. I was actually a little nervous to cross the room to get to the bar because that would mean I would have had to go between the fans and the TV. Luckily, I made sure there wasn't anything to great happening with the game and I scooted through as fast as I could. Once safely on the other side of the TV, I met said Kiwis. They're pretty wicked. <-- Yeah, that's how you use it. It's not "wicked good", "wicked cool", "wicked whatever". It's just "wicked", and yeah, that's pretty wicked.

Yesterday I went on a Beatles tour around London-- another fantastic experience. Most of the video from Hard Days Night was shot in Marylebone Station, right down the road. We saw Westminster Council House, where two of them were married, the Abbey Road crosswalk, Abbey Studios, what used to be the Apple Offices and is now Reed's Unemployment... But the best part: I TOUCHED JOHN LENNON'S DOORKNOB!

Scroll alllllllllllllll the way down the page and check out the rest of my pics!



The door to the flat at 34 Montague Square that John Lennon shared with Yoko Ono in 1968. "Eleonor Rigby" was written in the basement :-)
