i can see again!

To catch everyone up....
my eye acted up. Of course... on Friday the 13th. What terrible luck.
It was interesting to see their health system. The doctor I went to was a private doctor which was a lot better than the public heath system (I am told and would probably agree with). He was a nice doctor. I got treated well and fast. One problem was having to deal with the public transportation to get to the hospitals. The only good thing out of that was having to go to Victoria station every time meaning I got a Krispy Kream donut. Got to eat all I can when I'm young! I got some cool eye drops that I probably can't use/have in the states which is a bummer. They are new from Germany (that makes me feel special!) I slept for like 3 days straight. Basically almost a week out of my trip here was lost which is really a bummer. Oh, and the bills also were no good.
I was really ready to hop on the next plane home though.

But, today Nikki and I went to Primrose Hill! It was so beautiful! I definitely want to go back. And we realized after sitting there for a bit that everyone coming up there had cases of beer in their hands? Guess we should prepare more for next time. Maybe we will also spot a celebrity too, because thats where some live.

Last week our day trip was to Greenwich. The boat ride there was really fun but we went to the meridian and we had a tour of this museum there and it was seriously 3 hours long! ABOUT CLOCKS AND LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE! It was the worst thing ever and everyone was so angry at the end!
I missed the trip to Stonehenge and Bath because of my eye :(

Thats really it.

Stinks... what your view on universal health care?

I didn't deal with National Health Care in England. It was private. And it was just like service at home really. He was a specialist.
I don't think I would have like the public service. SO spoiled.
