    Hey folks!

    I planed to go in London with a friend of mine this weekend to meet fresh chick and chit chat with the ppl from there. I would really enjoy my trip and that's why I need your help. I want tips and advises, where to go to meet great ppl. Is London the best city to meet young ppl or another city, with lots of students enjoying to get drunk and those kind of stuff, would be advised (in Southern England of course)? So many question that some of you might help.

    First of hows about the matter of transport!? Should we travel with our own car by the Ferry? Should we travel by train with the Eurostar and the Underground? Plane is too way expensive though.

    Then were to go and what to do the afternoon? Place to visit (except Helder' sister), where to sleep? Hostel? Youth Hostel (If yes which ones)? Dux's flat? Should we rent a car to visit else where?

    At last have you some address of cool bar, pub and also restaurant or cool thing we really need to visit and such? We're looking for cheap place of course coz we do want to try the most as possible!

    As u might understood I'm looking for a quite cool trip, looking for fun, meeting and want to get drunk all night long coz I'm such as Reef addicted.

    Ps: If some Mapcorian around London want to touch my big breast that's now or never!

    Fuck off this isn't EOT, keep the abuse to me in there. London is VERY congested. Your best way of getting around the place is by foot or if you're REALLY desperate, a bus or taxi. I live in Wales, which is like 400 miles away from London, so unlucky . Places of interest to visit: Oxford street, London Dungeon, Natural History Museum, Imperial War Museum, St. Pauls, Harrods. I suppose you could visit the cliché places like the Palace and London Bridge, etc. Could get a Bus tour ride too, they're good and show you all of the city. No address of cool places to eat and drink because, honestly, you trip over places to eat and drink every 20 meters, I never had a problem finding anywhere. Although I did go into a McDonald's with fucking red leather seats. Swish as fuck.

    go to camden town. actually, stay in camden town. fuck everything else. camden town is the place. if anyone tells you differently, THEYRE LYING. covent garden may also be pretty cool to check out, but it doesn't rival CAMDEN TOWN. seriously, it's the coolest place in town.

    anyway preferred mode of transport to london is plane. eurostar will be fine. DONT grab your own car unless you wanna be stuck in traffic jams. use the tube/walk for transport, it's nice and some stations are very inspirational for level design too. for a hostel, i'm used to stay at one near king's cross station called ashley house. you should check it out, although i have heard rumors about them prohibiting alcohol as of late.

    Oh man the tube was dead confusing to start off with and soooo crowded. You might also wanna go to Leicester square at night, cool comedy clubs there.

    just get your self a normal bus ticket for the longest trip possible, don't take any of the tourist-busses, they're overly expensive. By any means, don't take your own car to the city! There's a good youthhostel at St Pauls and one at Pancras. I stayed at both before and they're quite nice and good to get in town. Avoid the bigger clubs, they're hella overpriced but check out covent garden and the smaller pubs. If you want students you might want to take the bus to cambridge, did that two years ago and was quite fun.

    I stayed in a St Christopher Youth Hostel (the london bridge one) last May and we were rather happy with it.

    Don't even bother trying to run a car in London. The tube should be fine, though it does seem to turn everyone into a prick.

    For fun times, go into the Tube and stand on the left of the escalators and see how quickly someone screams at you.

    Also try walking really slow down oxford street or somewhere and see how long it takes for someone to push you over or punch you in the back of the head.

    Hey folks! I'm back from my trip to the UK and I really appreciate your comments.

    Started from Dover to Cambridge and that's was quite amazing! The sunny were shining all the trip and the whole students were cool. We chit chat, asked help, tips and such without any problems. We took around 4 penalties compared to where our car were parked!

    The old town is interesting to visit. We saw a samba band playing in the market place last Sunday. We stood around the huge green place the whole two first days. The Regal was such an amazing bar/pub to meet quite cool ppl. The beer is so cheap compared to France! Shame on us!

    Yeah then we landed in London on YHA youth hostel next to Soho, Piccadilly circus and Oxford street. Even on Monday night we've meet ppl who were clubbin' all night long. Right at the beginning it's wasn't easy because of we weren't in knowing about the best address and where to go, then we followed a crowd of fucking fit girl (half naked even in the coldest night! DAMN!!!) and we've found a awesome nightclub full of hot girls and relaxed guys!

    That trip was legendary. My next destination would be Amsterdam!

    Oh and btw the exchange from Euro to Sterling pounds was fucking lame! the lowest level we've found was 1.21 at Thomas Cook.
