I have arrived in London, and found an internet cafe. (It's actually more internet than cafe.)
Here are some first impressions.

Like any city in America, you can evidently walk no more than 4 blocks in any direction without finding a Starbucks.
Some movie called Harry Potter opens today. Have you heard about it? Is it coming to the States?

Actually (and this should be of interest only to Joel) they have re-released the Harry Potter books with new, "adult" covers. I can only wonder what the illustrations are like.
