Just a very quick update from sunny England - the flight was fine, no delays, just very uncomfortable. The college where we are staying is nice. Everything is very small here. I can barely fit in the shower. The people are great and we had a bus tour of the city today which was very informative.

I am still phoneless but I am hoping to solve that soon. T-Mobile informed me politely about 2 minutes before I left for the airport that I may not be able to unlock the brand new phone I just bought, because unlock requests can only be made once every 90 days - never mind that I couldn't use the first one since my phone coincidentally died the day it was sent. I haven't received any word from them, so I'm going to the local phonery to try and get it sorted out. At the very least I'll get a card I can use in the payphone here to call around and check in.

London is great. It's the greatest thing ever and I knew I wouldn't want to leave.
