I am in an undisclosed secure location ...

Actually, I'm in London. (Just thought I would give a shout-out to post 9/11 Dick Cheney.)

It's been so fabulous here.

Yesterday, Thursday, I dedicated the day to doing something I haven't done in a long time. Eating pork.

Living in Turkey, there is no swine my favorite etible animal. So I've been loading up here. Traditional English Breakfast that comes with bacon AND sausage, eating pork chow mein and today having a bacon and cheese pastie (bacon and cheese served in a turnover basically. So delicious.)

And of course, I've been savoring the ales here. The beer in Turkey is such shit compared to a proper British ale.

It's 2 here and since I haven't done much since I arrived Wednesday night other than get pissed with my new Irish friend Leo (he's like the Irish Uncle Joe, for anyone who knows my Uncle. Both of them are great guys.)

Well, I'm off to do something free (either the British Museum or the British Library. Haven't decided yet.)

Cheers and I'll post more later.

P.S. I am sending this e-mail from London because I left Turkey. Probably should have put that higher. I've taken a job in Korea teaching English for about four times the money I made in Turkey. I'll be on holiday in Europe for another 12 days then it's off to Korea where I will eat dog and call everyone "You People." (Wait, I already do the latter.)

For the next few days, check out loughriedoeseurope.blogspot.com, but also keep checking LoughriedoesTurkey.blogspot.com, as I will keep posting great stories and wacky adventures from Turkey.
