British Snack Review

A brief pause before I get to the big posts on the London trip...


Britain has better snax. At least, better than the mass-distributed snacks that us-Americans can get. The chocolate is of better quality and British companies seem more willing to try new things.

Specifically, potato chips!

Here is the Flickr photo set with all the package pics!

More London Sights

There are two foreign cities that I quickly feel completely at-ease in: Tokyo and London. I'm not exactly sure why, but it could be because they're both fairly safe, clean cities with familiar things (products, ads, etc.) and super-efficient transportation systems. Also, I am passionate about things found primarily in these places. With London, it's theater and books.

Outside of the convention, we had plenty of time to see the sights. Usually we just pal'd around the Leicester Square area since that's where the bookstores were. One day we split up: Steve wanted to see the RAF museum at the north end of town. Not knowing how long he'd want to stay, Steve suggested that I go off and get my material at the National Theater while he made the trek north.
