Good Morning London!!

I'm here!!! After the longest day of my life...I still have 4 1/2 hours until I can check into my hostel. :( First order of business: a shower....flying makes you feel so yucky and I flew for 11 hours today. Here are a few thing that I have learned about London in the short time I have been here:
-UK Border Control is scary, "Why are you in London?" "Where do you work?" "Why didn't you write down an address of where you are staying in London".....ahhhhhh
-Londoners appear to be very into perfume, I sneezed about 15 times on the Tube.
-American men dress like crap, seriously, take some fashion tips from British men.
-The Tube is very serious business, commuters will run you over so get out of the way!
-German tourists like smoking, there was about 90 outside the hostel smoking when I dropped off my bag
-A very special phone booth near Stamford Brook has been used as a toilet at least once....it smelled delicious
and lastly, this Internet cafe is confusing, everyone seems to be paying to use the computers but I was just waved towards one...Wha?

Cyndi,
Mom is sending you a phone. You need to tell the 'front desk' that it will arrive sometime tomorrow.
