Things I have learned on my UK holiday so far:

[cupcake_goth]

- The David Bowie exhibit at the V&A is ABSOLUTELY worth getting up early and spending an hour in line to get tickets. It was a near-religious experience for me; I was close to tears looking at the handwritten lyric sheet for “Rock ‘n Roll Suicide".

- Apparently it is my destiny to be recognized at alt/punk fashion exhibits! Two lovely young ladies came and said hi at the punk exhibit at the Met in NYC, and a very sweet girl did the same at the club fashion exhibit at the V&A.

- If I have a needle, black or white thread, and a small straight razor, I can do just about every clothing alteration I need.

- I am almost willing to start hexing people if I meant I would have readily available iced Americanos (LOTS OF ICE) and free wifi. Yes, there’s Starbucks, but I am a true Seattle native, and am … not a fan of Starbucks’ roast.

All in all, I am having a wonderful time! Even if it is too beastly hot.

I travel with my own coffee unless I'm traveling to Washington, Oregon, Italy or France. England and Scandinavian countries have strange ideas of what coffee is supposed to be, and Canada is hit or miss.

Sounds like a fun trip. I did not get to see the David Bowie exhibit while I was there, but that will definitely be on my list of bouncing-SQUEEEEE visits for next time!!

As a Portlander, I get the same thing--people will be excited over Starbucks and I'll make a face. It's better than nothing, but I'd really rather have Stumptown!

I do end up drinking Starbucks on occasion when traveling. Just because at least I know what I'm getting.

The razor is for the blood sacrifice, yes?

Because that's the only way I know.
