Taken from the top of the Eye
Greetings CG readers from Merry Olde England. I’ve been in London for almost a week now and thought I’d say hello. I’ve enjoyed every minute of my trip so far including the usual tourist traps like Big Ben/Parliament, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace. I’m in absolute heaven with football coverage everywhere I look. Believe it or not the weather has been quite pleasant and the sun being the elusive bugga that it is has even come out to play.
So you’re probably wondering how any of this is relevant to the usual rants you love to read from the Gear, but it is. Trust me. I’m not subjecting myself to 8 percent ABV beverages, people with funny accents and ungodly amounts of Fish & Chips and black pudding for fun. Oh noes. I’m here to bring you folks hot and exclusive news from Nokia. Starting tomorrow I’ll be showing you some new products you may or may not have heard of from the Finnish giant. Stay tuned, but in the meantime check out a few pics from my trip so far.
Storm Troopers! There’s a Star Wars exhibition going on in London and there’s even a Naboo N-1 Starfighter and a geek dream fulfilling Jedi training course.
I’m afraid of heights and I got dizzy at the top.
There’s something strange about stepping into a glass pod and going up 400+ feet into the air.
I tried to get a few hands on pics of the Samsung G600, but the Vodafone folk weren’t too keen on that idea, but here’s an ad for it. Trust me when I tell you how cool it was.
Virgin has some of the neatest advertising around. Don’t they?
Want the Touch and a free Nintendo DS? Then move to the UK, sign up with Orange and pay your bills on time. Heh
This guy is ready for the RAZR 2. Are you?
Peter,
How much longer are you over here for and what are you up to? Are there some big tech launches going on or sth. Anyways, have fun, and if you get bored of the fish and chips, try Brick Lane for some quality Indian delights…!
Cheers
Don’t forget Tottenham Court Road for tech-central, though you’ll have to fight your way through all the other tourists :)
Mark-
Just here till Thursday afternoon. I had some very good Indian the other night from Soho Spice. I’ll try out Brick Lane if I have enough time.
Jay-
Thanks for the heads up.
I was in London yesterday near the London eye too… was great weather all day, was very busy too, I was going to the London Aquarium but the queue was far too long. Its a shame, I live 20 minutes outside of the place and don’t actually visit London that often. Hope you have a great time here in the UK, I think Americans have funny accents :P
