Europe in a Backpack
								
							London, England or as I like to call it "most expensive place on earth!"  I stepped off of my flight to find the only way to get to the city centre is a train costing 30 dollars.  Thank you, London.  Next was a subway ticket to get to my hotel, 10 dollars.  Thank you, London.  Walking in to see a very expensive hotel room that was paid for by British Airways, Priceless.  This room is so nice with the wood cabinets and flatscreen tv.  Not to mention air conditioning and a queen size bed.  It feels so nice at this point of my journey that I can't even explain.  I talked to the reception girl, who happened to be indian, about a nice Indian food restaraunt in the area.  She told me I had to go to this one around the corner and it is cheap.  How was I gonna argue with her, she is indian.  Anyways, I headed on over and took my seat.  A nice little lady handed me a menu' and laughed when she saw the look on my face.  To be honest, I have never really been to an indian restaurant.  So she recommended some dishes and I said ok.  Then she asked if I wanted mild or spicy.  When in Rome.  Spicy it is.  A couple of minutes past and then she emerged from behind me with a large plate of 6 smaller bowls placed on top.  She kindof explained what to eat with what and where to begin but I zoned out as I stared in the flourescent coloured dishes.  So bright I could see the hotness to the dishes.  What was I getting myself into.  First one I tried slowly and it wasn't too bad.  One by one I moved from dish to dish with the most amazing flavours to ever hit my mouth.  And slowly the dishes were getting hotter.  I was eating for almost 10 minutes before I noticed I was sweating.  My nose started to run but I could not slow down.  It was too amazing.  The waitress gave me a smile and I suddenly felt like Rueben from "along came polly"  I paid my tab and finished my water.  It was like I accomplished a huge mountain or something.  I walked outside and started to strut like I was in Saturday Night Fever.  Then the Indian food hit me and I started to walk like a woman 8 months pregnant.  I made to my hotel room and powdered my nose for a half hour.  When I jumped on my huge bed and flicked on the Flat screen, I noticed that britain had their own Paradise Island show on and became engulfed.  Slowly I drifted off to sleep and awoke an hour later.  Tomorrow is a new day and should involve anything that does not cost money.  London is Calling.
