A World Of Difference
We arrived safely in London after a 12 hours flight that seems like forever.It wasn’t as horrible as I was anticipating you know, the kids being confined in an airplane for that long they had a blast especially since they were able to still watch one of the Korean favourite cartoons “Pororo” funny name for a penguin.When we got to Heathrow Airport London at about 5.30pm on the 14th of july (that means we spent two days and two nights of 14Th July because that was the exact date that we left South Korea) between the time we disembark from the aircraft to clearing from immigration and getting our luggage took more than an hour of our time.The story about getting to our hotel is a very long and boring one so you are spared of that;anyway we got to the Hilton’s hotel almost at dinner time.We all got refreshed and went for a buffet dinner downstairs.I couldn’t use the internet because it was 15 pounds per internet connection very strange .Our plans had changed in that we have decided to leave the next morning for New York as opposed to spending a few more days in London.There wasn’t much to see or do in London that we haven’t done before and economically it was not a very wise decision.If I convert my euros to pounds am loosing money but if I convert the same amount to dollars I will be richer.Did I mention that if I wasn’t an artist I would have been working in New York Wall Street.We woke up by 4am London time to get ready for the airport again; we left the hotel 6am on July the 15Th reschedule our flight and checked in. It wasn’t as easy as I am making it sound it was actually a mini nightmare or should call it a morning mare? honestly I hate everything about Heathrow Airport.We flew Delta Air if compare to Korean Air which we flew from Seoul to London OK! I reserve my comments. This was an 8 hours flight,the kids didn’t find it very funny,Shawn cried half the time to me it lasted longer than the 12hours flight.We arrived safely in JFK airport New York at about 11.35am July the 15Th.In two days we flew for 20 hours, saw 14Th and 15Th ofJuly twice.We are trying to adjust to the time difference,am here in our hotel room in Manhattan very excited because I have an appointment at Apple shop by 3.30pm today for my new laptop and a 3G iphone,more gist to come.The results are in:Flight from Seoul to London Kachi won the first price for most well behaved. Flight from London to New York Joel won hands down for the most well behaved while Shawn came last.Chinedu on the other as teenager didn’t get any price because of the way he attacked every food and drink on sight as if he was having his last supper,that surely annoyed me as a mother.I have to go now,I will be back to fill you in more about what has happened so far.
When staying in a hotel, wear pyjamas
What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? Try and beat this one.
I recently had to attend an evening meeting in Kent, south of London. I was due in London early the next morning. Rather than risk missing the last train home, I decided to stay over in a hotel.
London budget hotels are generally an embarrassment to the city, but I managed to get a decent room at a very good price in a place called Orpington, close to where my meeting was.
I went to bed at 11pm and did not fall asleep immediately, because there was a hall light right outside my hotel door that shone right in my face. I covered my head and eventually fell asleep.
However, I woke up several times because of the light. I know that the light was required for the inhabitants of the room above mine, because they had to use the stairs from the hallway that we shared.
At some point I woke up again and decided that since it is pitch dark outside, nobody would need the light to use the stairs. I got up and opened the bedroom door, and there was the light switch, two steps away. Bliss!
As I reached the light switch, the electronic lock of the bedroom door softly closed behind me. And there I was standing in the hallway, dressed in a pair of knickers. My phone, my watch and my clothes were all behind that locked door. (more…)
