UK...again.

I'm sitting in London-Gatwick airport with about 2 hours until my flight leaves for the states. It's been great here the last 3 weeks. I can't wait til I can make it back over here someday. I don't want to leave, but I miss home too.

While staying here, I ate many different styles of cuisines from all around the world. I had French, Spanish (from Spain, not like Mexican food at home), Turkish, English style meals, Italian, Indian (lamb tika was AWESOME!), and yes, American! McD's was pretty dog-gone tasty. I also stopped in at Burger King at a train station in Scotland. Funny story about that: One of my friends gets freaked out by pigeons on the streets when they get too close, etc. Well, the Burger King was open to the outdoors since it was inside the train station. So, needless to say there were pigeons that would wander the floor nibbling on dropped fries and so on. Anyways, he was flipped when one came swooping in over our heads. It's not as funny now that I type it here. You had to be there to see his reactions. I'll leave him nameless, since it is sort of embarrassing.

I've met some cool people while I was here. Learned some cool things about this country and its culture and all. One thing that I didn't realize until late was that there were hardly any pick-up trucks, or lorries as they call them here. Some of the most memorable things about this trip were walking the streets of London, seeing these old Cathedrals, eating great food, and going to Hillsong Church in London. Hillsong is an inspiring 'organization' for me. There are so many talented people there. It was such a great experience because of the music and then to top it off, the message was on finding God's purpose for your life, which is something that I desperately needed to hear.

To beat all, I studied at the world reknown, Cambridge University. I wasn't a traditional Cambridge student, although I like to tell people that and that I was accepted! But, anyways, to realize that this was the place where C.S. Lewis wrote and other world famous people were educated is so indescribable. I've enjoyed every moment of this trip. I can't wait until I can come back.

And finally, remember:
If you want to keep the world clean, put your rubbish in a bin! (English for: Don't litter!)
