LONDON

I got to London and stayed 2 nights in a hotel there so that i could get my body back into shap for the rest of my trip. I had picked up a very bad Chest cold and possibly a stomach parasite in Africa and needed to see a doctor. I got to London and the first thing i did was research Exit Festival. Exit Festival is a gigantic festival that takes place in a gigantic historic fort in Novi Sad, Serbia about an hour and a half north of Belgrade. I found literally the last ticket online and secured it. exitfest.org, check it out. After I called American Express and got a list of doctors to go see in central London. He prescibed me to Antibiotics but couldnt do much for me becasue i was leaving so soon. I asked if it was OK to drink on the meds and he told me it was fine and that not drinking on anitbiotics was an old wives tale. I took it easy for the 2 days i was in London and will be back at the end of July for 2 DJs shows. I did the open top bus and saw all the sites, and settled in a bar to watch the Germany vs Argentina game. It was the day of the gay parade and there were tons of people on the streets. A lot of men in pink speedos dancing around the street. There was a stage and everything in Trafagar Square. I found a bar like 15 min before game time that had room for me. It was like 4 blocks from the main road and in a basement on a random street. I sat down and ordered a drink and the booth next to me filled up. I looked over and it was 7 americans that i went to the Argentina vs S Korea game with in South Africa. How random. I meet 7 people in south africa and then randomly bump into them in London 2 weeks later. Crazy. Being at the USA vs Ghana game, i didnt feel so bad for Ghana when they lost. Their fans were the sorest of winner when they beat the USA and they got what they deserved. on the 4th i had a flight to Warsaw and then was going to take a train the next day to Krakow becuase there were none running that late at night. I sat in the back of the plane and next to this lovely girl named Ania. We talked the whole flight. Shes from Krakow and was on her way back there now. We got to Warsaw and she waited with me to get my bags and i found a cheap ticket to get to Krakow on her flight that night. We found an airport bar and drank and talked between flights. Our plane was delayed to we went back to the bar for another beer. Eventually we were ready to board and i was able to sit next to her again. She had a boyfriend she didnt seem to have much contact with and didnt seem too excited about. I think shes 28 too, but we hit it off. Too bad. When we got to Krakow we split a cab and she paid for my part and made sure i got to my hostel alright.
