WELL, IT'S JOLLY, AND PARTS OF IT ARE "OLDE:" Greetings from an Internet cafe just south of Trafalgar Square in London. A few notes with my previous time (Internet service is nearly 4 bucks an hour):
1. Going nearly 48 hours on two hours sleep is never a good idea, but especially when those two hours have been fitiful "plane" sleep.
2. London loves pizza. Pizza Hut (and there are many locations) is ALWAYS full when I've walked by, as are many other pizza chains.
3. Am I missing the foreign currency exchange locations on every corner in New York and other major American cities, or is this just a pecularity of London?
4. £8.50 will buy you a nice lunch on a real plate. Unfortunately, with the current exchange rate, that's almost $16.
5. "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (the musical) will need serious retooling before its U.S. opening--Act 1 needs to be cut in half, and the lead villain role in Act 2 needs to be reworked. Yes, the flying car is amazing, but there's a lot more "stage magic" than theatrical magic in the show.
6. God, my feet hurt. More later.
