London!
Oh. Heck. Yah!
So I made it over all in one piece -- the new air canada planes with the in-seat on demand movies are the best thing EVER! (although, I noticed that they now make you watch 4 or 5 ads before your movie starts, which is new). I had a seat to myself which was nice - there's even power outlets for your laptop, so I got a bit of work done between watching XFiles (baaaaad movie) and Batman: Dark Knight(wiiicked movie).
So far things are pretty "normal" except the accents....mind you, my flight got in at 9:30pm London time, so I haven't exactly seen much / done much outside of my hotel room - sadly ended up getting a hamburger from the hotel restaurant for dinner since everything else around here was closed by the time I dropped my stuff off in my room.
I'm excited for the week and can't wait to get out and about in the morning! I also am sporting an entirely new, ritzy / fashion chic wardrobe. I think I bought more (atleast SPENT more) on Saturday than I have in years. 5 new shirts and 2 new pairs of pants. Mexx was a "new" store for me...pretty sweet stuff, but all super expensive. However managed to get a few things from the 50% off rack. Got a new coat thing from Bluenotes too.
Hopefully I'll be able to take some pictures to share and will keep you posted!

I asked if I was allowed to wear jeans to our London office and was told I'd be laughed at - that everyone here wears ties most days.
It's been almost 2 years since I worked in Manhattan and my "suit and tie" clothes were mostly all from my first couple co-op terms and needed a serious update!

Mexx has been having the entire store 50% off over the past few boxing days, it's where Dave gets his entire work wardrobe. He finds it excellent for his lanky frame.
