No I did not die. Well, maybe I did and I regenerated as the next Doctor… wait I’m not the Doctor. No, I did not die.
I just happened to visit London for two weeks!!
Lizy auntie and Jessy auntie are both near to London so it was fun. Anyways, here’s what’s basically been happening the last two weeks.
First off, we visited Lizy auntie and Saji uncle, and Jeffrin and Jeremy. Jeffrin is 11 and quite smart, while Jeremy is 5 and quite sick. Jeremy has a hyperactive immune disorder that makes him allergic to basically a shitload of things. The first of these would be gluten, and other proteins; so he can’t eat meat, non-rice crops, and a whole bunch of vegetables. and Chocolate. I managed to buy some chocolate without this stuff for him before I went so he got to eat that but its hard for him. Jeremy also has eczema so it’s really tough for him. I don’t know how Lizy auntie handles it all but she somehow does. Jeffri is also quite helpful. What scared me the most was that Jeremy is shit scared of hospitals. A month ago, he was so sick that they took him to the hospital and he had to get an oxygen mask and the whole thing, now he won’t go no matter how sick he is. The thing is, my mom and Lizy auntie both have a lot of allergies but it’s like it all accumulated in him. They want to start an immune suppressant program for two years on him, but he’s really weak and gets sick easy, so I don’t even know how they’ll pull that off without sticking him in a bubble. I really hope things work out there.
Secondly, The UK is a country full, and I mean chock-full of history! And I love it! We visited London, Cambridge, Ipswich, Norwich, Stowmarket and Croydon. The place we lived, Bury St. Edmunds was this tiny little city that was probably like Thalwil or Oetwil am See, a bit bigger than Kilchberg, but no Zuerich (no I didn’t spell that wrong, I just can’t find the damn codes for the umlaut!) The point behind the whole thing is that its wonderful to look at a building with a Starbucks in it and learn that it used to be a 18th century home. Yeah that’s right! And tea! I love the tea! Though I’m a coffee fan, I’m PG Tips converted for all of eternity! The work is amazing on buildings like Bucking Palace and Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben is a sight not to miss. Though I have to laugh at the bridges in London. Everyone expects the famous London bridge to be that awesome bridge they see on the photos- wait no. nononononononononono. That would be Tower bridge. London bridge? YEA that’s just a damn bridge. Tower bridge is the pretty one! I know eh??
What I hated about the UK was the two tap system. I mean what is so hard about premixed taps? I can’t take a damn shower! Now I know that I should be perfectly happy that I get water and if I was in India or Africa, then yeah it makes sense- they don’t have facilities, Ich bin einverstanden! But here it’s just plain… I don’t know! GB is a developed country! Why don’t they have proper taps? And the houses are so damn cold! I understand that the buildings are old but so are they in Switzerland and I’m perfectly warm here…
All in all the trip was great and fun, but I do hope it’s Philadelphia for me next year!:D
