Oh how I've missed my blog.  So sorry for not writing for so long.  I was in China this summer and xanga is blocked there.  I promise to put up my China posts soon enough, but for now I'll write about my current location.  I'm in London!!! I love it here.  My sister is here on business, so she gets a free hotel, which means...I'm all over it!  I've been here since Wednesday and I'm so in love with this city. 

Ahhhhhh I love it so much.  I have so much to say about it.  I left Wednesday morning at 7am.  I had so much to do the night before that I didn't get any sleep...nothing...zero.  I was beat.  I got on the plane and went right to sleep, by the way Virgin Atlantic is amazing.  I did however wake up when the lovely flight attendant said, " would you like some toe mah toe juice?"  I started smiling and I haven't stopped.

London is so beautiful.  I love the mix of the new and old.  I've seen so much in just three days. Tower Bridge and the Houses of Parliament were my absolute favorite.  So beautiful.  I have so much to share I don't know where to start...ah. I guess the beginning is best.  I'm staying with my childhood friend Alex.  He's been living here for 3 years.  He went to Law School here and now he's a lawyer!  He lives in the dopest apartment ever.  It's three floors and it's insane.  The television is huge...and it moves, you can tilt it towards yourself...sick! 

On my first full day I was ready to see and do it all.  I made plans with Mr. YKW.  I was nervous as hell to meet him.  My heart was in my mouth.  I was so nervous I got to our meeting spot 2 hours early.  I got there and headed in a general direction.  Some guy asked me for a lighter and I said no.  I asked him if there was anything worth seeing around there.  He was like, are you serious. We exchanged our stories and then we took me on a hour tour of the area.  People in London are super sweet!

Then I headed to see Mr. YKW.  I was soooooooooooooo nervous.  I was pacing and sweating a little.  Then I heard, " Kristel," and all the nerves went away.  It was like old old times.  We spent the whole day together and we didnt talk about the break up at all.  For all of you that don't know...we broke up exactly one month ago.  The distance was just too much for him. I'll dedicate a blog entry to that in some time, for now I'll stay on London.  I've seen him every day since I've been here and it feels just like it did when we were in Japan.  I won't go too into detail, but tonight I got all the answers I wanted. We're not together, but I he still loves me.  (Private blog about this to come...so sign in or ask for permission to read it...remind me Picadilly Circus).

I'm here for another three days.  Then off to Barcelona I'll go...woo hoo. 

Peace, Love, and Life!

Kristel
