London 1.5 18/5/04

Today was also rather interesting. I found out that my roomates were from Brazil and only one vaguely spoke english. They were really cool, quiet and fun to talk to, and laugh about not understandign each other. I grabbed dinner and went for a walk in the park. It was pretty cool- the parks here are much more social, and community oriented. There were people alllll over the place playing frisbee, soccer, flying kites, and just being bums. Hyde park is where we were- NW part of Lonon. After that I came back to the room. I found my Brazilian friends to be asleep and my 3rd roomate, who I had never met, hard at work at the desk. I went about my stuff, getting my pack organized. When he stood up forom the desk he asked(keep in mind, this is the first time I ever met this guy)... "Do you want to go smoke a joint?" Uh, hi nice to meet you too?? I declined, laughing to myself. Later after he came in from the porch and I had the effects of second hand smoke- he introduced himself as so-and-so from Ottawa. Nice to meet ya- you pot head. After this strange introduction, I never saw him again- he was on his way to Amsterdam.
I fell asleep very quickly and slept incredibly soundly. Jet lag is a pain.
