Un breton a poile dans le canapé

You know, this can happen to you! Not that it did to me, but I turns out I know this “Breton”. Too many drinks, an unfamiliar place and you fall all sleep in the first place you find. Naked of course…

Well, back to my trip to London. Monday was me and my Chardonnay, but the rest of the week happen to be very interesting. Unexpected I must say.

TUESDAY
After the second day of training I met Ian from Liverpool. Cool guy that invited me to go to the city centre, where he was meeting a friend. Frank also from Liverpool. The journey on the tube was never-ending, 45 mins on Picadilly line and then almost 15mins waiting for the exchange train that would take us to Nothing Hill. Once there a worthy pint was waiting for us. Then we went for dinner to a Turkish restaurant. Quite deceiving, but we had fun there. The waitress was Brazilian, and was her 2nd day in the job and in London. It took us a while to order… and even more to ask for the wine. After me rushed for Soho where we enchained the bars until we ended in O’Conners, or something like this. Live music and more drinks. We took a cab back to the hotel. I don’t remember who paid the car, but I have the receipt. Maybe i did...

WEDNESDAY
Hard morning couldn’t leave the bed on time for the training. Shame on me, I know. After much struggling for a couple of hours I manage to get ready for another day of learning. Of course I was late, veeeery late. Shame on me! In the evening I was meeting Lenka, a colleague from Prague also at London that week. Greg ,French class mate, came with us. We went to an Italian restaurant in south Kensington. Not very good. Then we went for a drink (again) and took the last train home. In the subway, it was like an mad house. People completely stunned everywhere. Some couldn’t even walk at all while others were spilling out their entrails eveywhere. It was incredible (disgusting), on a Wednesday at just 00h00!!

THURSDAY
On Thursday we were invited to a X-mas lunch in the training centre. Lovely! The food as usual, what can I say… Back at the hotel I decided to exercise a bit. I went for some fitness and sauna. Very relaxing. To the point of seriously thinking about staying in my room. But, this little voice kept reminding me that it was my last night in the city… So I got dressed and went to burn the London night for a last time. It was Greg’s birthday; we went for Japanese, very funny as it was his first time dealing with the sushi and the maki. Then we went for some drinks and we ended in O’Conners again; the next morning woke us up in a club. Just time to get back to the hotel, quick shower and speed check out. I was only 5 minutes late! :)

FRIDAY
I will only say it was a long day, even though we finished at 14h. In the airport I thought I was not going to make it, what a caos! But here I am now, back and safe in Prague.

SATURDAY…
Wild night, as usual. Beers at Derek’s bar, dinner at Nostress, then visit to Casa Blu, dances at Zero, break in Bombay, more dances at Roxy and closing in Studio 54. As I said, it was wild!
