I got into London at around 9:00am. I fumbled around the Tube station and got yelled at by a Sardar for "taking too much the time" when I was indecisive about how much money I should put on my Oyster card. I think it was when I was sitting on the train, and the computer announcement, in the voice of a sultry British woman, told me that this train was going from Picadilly to Cockfosters, that I realized I was in a new land. I got into Riya's place about 10:00am. Just got my T-mobile SIM card. Then we went to Starbucks and Subway. Looks like easing into the prices of the European cafes and sandwich shops is going to be a slow, painful process. Living in Westminster right now, Buckingham palace is only a 20 minute walk away. I checked that out, along with the Royal Mews and the Queen's gallery. Was pretty tired from the flight, so I passed out at 6pm, only to wake up at around 8am the next morning.
