Home sweet home

This is so typical of me...I had a layover in London on the way back, and of course, I stocked up on Cadbury chocolates (my way of buying my coworkers' love), and tea and jam from Harrods.

Since getting home on Wednesday afternoon, I've pretty much been working and sleeping during odd hours of the day, which is not much different from when I was on the trip. I have a feeling it might take a few days before I fully readjust.

Here's a link to the photos. Many of them were taken at night because I had to work during the day. What a fantastic trip! I had a blast and would do it all over again...maybe after a little break.

Enjoy the photos and see you on my next journey!

End of tour

I literally went around the world in the last 12 days, from North America to Asia to Europe, then back to North America tomorrow. I am ever so grateful to have had this opportunity through work, to be able to see new places, meet new people, and make new memories.

I just had fish and chips for my last meal here, only fitting I thought. I am packed and ready to head back to the good ol' US of A. I am E-X-H-A-U-S-T-E-D and ready to go home!

Check back in a few days for photos!

Signing off from Glasgow. Until next time...

BURRRRRRR!

It's cold, it's snowing, and it feels miserable. The project in Glasgow involves reviewing documents for a litigation...inside a large record storage facility. It isn't very glamorous work, and imagine doing this in a warehouse with no heat, in the winter, in Glasgow. The team of 10 worked in hats, scarves, coats, multiple layers of gloves, and we were still cold! It is so miserable that I could cry. There also isn't much to do around here so we don't exactly love Glasgow right now. We still make each other laugh, and that's all we need.

We cabbed to Glasgow West End for an Indian dinner (because no one was up for any haggis or black pudding or blood sausage). What's with food and blood on this trip?! After, we walked around to see whatever we could of Glasgow, since we're inside a warehouse during the day. We walked near the University of Glasgow (see picture) and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

It's time for some Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Farwell, London…hello, Glasgow

For every hello, there is a goodbye, and saying goodbye is one of the hardest things for me to do. I cried like a baby when I left James and later fought back tears with Xiuxiu. GRRRR…I hate goodbyes, but I love London, so I'll be back!

I landed in freezing cold Glasgow around 7:30PM…I can't understand what anyone is saying! I mean, is it really English? :)

Must sleep!

London continued

I woke up feeling refreshed on Saturday, after finally getting eight hours of quality sleep. Except it was from 4AM to noon! I don't know what time zone I'm in anymore.

James and I met up with a friend of mine, Anita, for a day out. We decided to make the most of a sunny day and took a boat ride on the Thames down to Greenwich. Seeing all the main attractions along the way reminded me of just how much I love this city. I, of course, took a million pictures of everything. We had lunch in Greenwich then had a quick look around the market.

In the evening, I went out to a couple of bars with James and his friends. We stay out very late and I, once again, had only 3 or 4 hours of sleep. I did have a great time!
