+1. Im considering leaving London for the states. The final bastion for Australians where we appear not to have totally tarnished our reputation.
I love London. I love the anonymity such a big city provides. I love being answerable to no one. I love how much cabbies like talking shit. I love the riding and the Turkish/Vietnamese/African food on my doorstep. I love the people I've met and the way that the sun is a drug like nowhere else I've ever seen and makes people go a bit mental. I fucking love mushy peas. I love asking a random girl out on the street. I love that she might say yes and I love that if she doesn't, I can just scuttle away and drink 6 cans of Tyskie and everything will be fine. Bloody love Chicken Cottage - oh, and Coronation Chicken - the conservative mans curry! That stuff is GREAT! I love being roundly considered a nutter by my workmates for riding in the rain London. I love the sense of knowing something people who dont ride cant understand. I love discovering new places to eat and drink and knowing that Im only about 2% of the way around. I like knowing that I'll be back in 36 hours.
I like other things too.
