And I can smell a cigarette being lit on the other side of some streets. And if I accidentally inhale a good whiff of smoke, I'll get a headache. In the UK, there are no non-smoking sections in restaurants, and there are a lot more smokers than in the U.S. At one point, some of my food tasted like smoke. Oh well.
The people are generally pretty nice. The London population is a lot like New Yorkers with better manners. As I said before, I didn't see sdtPikachu anywhere. And I didn't see any Muslims who carried around a baby named Mohammed or referred to his wife as Haylay, so I probably missed Shadow_Link as well.

It's a shame you couldn't visit any Indian/Pakistani restaurants, because I know two of the very best in the UK, and they happen to be in London

.
The Italian and Turkish restaurants are also some of the best around, though nothing can beat Italian food down in Venice...*Drools*
Oh, and my wife's name is Hayley

But it's good to hear you had a nice time in London

Joeiss, everything is VERY expensive in London. It's not just the properties, but the cars, food, drinks, TV's, consoles etc... I guess the exchange rate would be horrible since the 'Ģ' is very strong
