Stuff

Here I am in Paris! I am staying at the crappiest of all crappy hostels with the crappiest of all crappy internet connection. Laaaaaame. I had intended to spend the evening in the hostel with the internets and some noodles and have a wonderful shower, the very last shower until I get home. WELL I took one look at the shower and no. Just no. Besides, I have to pay one euro for a towel, and looking at the state of this place, I think I’d rather not take my chances with one of their towels. I was going to make an epic picture update of my castle adventure, then another one with my London adventures, but there’s no way this internet can handle uploading photos. It’s struggling to load facebook.

Well, this shall give me something to do during my ten hour stopover in Dubai. I’m assuming free wireless exists at all major airports yes? I hope so. Oh man I’m so tired, and I am so ready to be home already. I hit the wall yesterday afternoon in London. I had had enough and I wanted out. I couldn’t bear the thought of having to check out of my hostel, drag luggage around, catch a train, drag luggage around trying to find a hostel, then doing the obligatory Paris tourist stuff, then checking out of the hostel.... Yeah, it’s hard work. I nearly died dragging my one little bag of luggage from the train to my hostel this morning, then tomorrow I have to do it all in reverse, and then pick up the other 30kg. Oh maaaaan. I hope I make another friend like John. Or at least someone to help me drag my luggage onto the train. I’m so glad the train goes straight to the airport in Amsterdam, or I would die trying to find my way there. My neck and shoulders are so unbelievably sore.

So I’ve been doing the touristy things. It is pretty cool, even though I’ve been feeling pretty miserable. It’s really cold here in Paris, and raining. It’s worse than London, which really doesn’t help my mood. I can’t remember the last time I saw the sun L In other, more happier news, I’m not as sick anymore! I’m still a bit sniffly, but my cough seems to have gone and I don’t feel so groggy. The only problem is that I’ve run out of tissues, but I still need them. There’s a supermarket down the street that sells tissues, but they only come in packets of massive, which is rather inconvenient. I don’t need THAT many tissues, and I really don’t have space to carry them around. Gah.

Anyway, I'm gonna go to the Thai place across the road and try and decipher the French names and hopefully end up with some noodles :P
