I just can’t seem to get into this time zone properly. After going to bed at 3:30 AM last night, I spent a tortured sleepless night having horrible dreams until I finally sunk into a real snooze around 7:30 AM. This meant I didn’t get out of the apartment until noon today. What a...
Don’t forget to set the alarm clock when jet laggy. Otherwise, you might wake up at 1PM like I did today! First thing, I ran down to do some quick shopping on Oxford Street. I lavishly spent £17 on a cab ride from our hotel since I slept in so late. I visited...
