Sooo, we finally had our very first Planning-For-Our-London-Trip Session today.
We've summed up the stuff we already know (hotel, flight, etc.) and searched for further information. We know now we need a travel card (Noel: "Have you finished with your travel card... have you? Have you?") and a ticket for the Stansted Express as we are landing in Standsted.
We also searched for some sights to visit. First of all we planned to visit the Tower of London, because of its plain historic-ness. Then Camden Market of course, a kebab-shop (just because of the way they're pronouncing the word kebab), Tate Modern, Covent Garden, Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Harrods (because of the toilets) and many more. Then we'll probably take pictures of everything called Albion, at least one football stadium and everything that we relate to something memoriable. If anyone has any advice for us, don't hesitate to tell me : )
Actually we met to finish a presentation, but then we were all like "Yayy! OMG! We're going to be THERE!", so we couldn't be bothered to work on that anymore.
Oh and we found out about one of the best things about google. If you zoom close enough to the map of Google.Maps you can take a walk through the streets(at least for some cities - it didn't work in Istanbul, it worked for London). But yeah, that's pretty amazing! :O
And we also got some advice of our dear friends in skinny jeans:
And because Rhi just posted something Never Mind The Buzzcock-ish, I was reminded of another discovery of ours:

Achievements, Resolutions and a New Year!
I won't start listing all my achiements of '09 here, neither will I start complaining about stuff I didn't manage to set straight. I just want to wish everyone a successful, healthy, amazing and great year 2010 and may it be one of the best years of your life!
2009 was already a pretty good year for me, I continued developing my own personality, changed, but stayed true to myself. I'm still Marie!
Of course I do have some resolutions as well. I won't tell you all of them as some of them are just too private, but my main new year's resolution is to keep things going. To just carry on with all the things I've started.
And hey, I already fulfilled one of those resolutions today. I finally, finally, finally (after 16 years, 10 month and a few days) gained recognition from one part of my family and I finally feel like they realized they can take me seriously.
And all that happened because I had a discussion with my uncle about religion, church, ethics, politics, economics and education and I think I brought some heigh weighing arguments forward. And my parents plus my aunt just listened to us discussing and I can't say I won (you can't convince someone who has such a strong faith and I didn't intend to do this at all), but I did pretty good. They were quite surprised about my knowledge after all.
Besides I tightened my own opinions concerning politics and ethics (and religion) for myself a bit which was another one of my resolutions.
In the end I can just say that I wish the best for all of you as well, just do what you want to do and be yourself in 2010. Semper fidelis!
