Kicked off with Friday night at j’bugs - never seen the place so full - blue harlem were in fine form and the visitors were jumping.
Saturday I missed the london walk but everyone who went loved it - leave them to tell you about it.

I didn't have to adjust quite so dramatically when I moved to London, since there were Americans on my floor and London had at least some similarity to America, but I felt really out of place and the surroundings just felt alien to me for about two weeks.<br /> <br /> Then, a few months later when I went home for the first time for Christmas, I heard an American accent over the intercom at the Baltimore airport, and <i>that</i> felt completely wrong to me after months of hearing nothing but British accents in train depots and airports and such. Coming home after months or years abroad can be even more of a culture shock. I thought that was very interesting, and like telling that story to kids who are about to go over to study.<br /> <br /> But yeah, hon, I know what you mean. Hang in there, you'll adjust.
