London is Cheap
Everything is on sale but even without the sale London is cheap. Last year when I was here 1KD made I think like 1.6 pounds but now it’s like 2.6 although I’ve noticed when I use my credit card the exchange rate is like 2.3 pounds. Our hotel room is tiny as expected but will post pics and more once I get back to Kuwait since I am posting from my iPhone now. There was barely enough room for our luggage but with all our shopping bags things have gotten more… interesting. I think two more bags and we won’t be able to get into our room but I am loving it.

welcome in London, dont miss the new shopping mall “west field” near shepards bush tube station.
Tell me about it :) I have more shopping bags than my own clothes…The prices make you want to buy everything.
Yeh, I’m sure Mark traveled 6 hours on a plane to go see a freaking mall.
sad sad sad
You do know that London has a million things to do and see – pathetic malls are not one of them.
Camden Market- Sunday
Portabello Market – Saturday
Sketch restaurant/Lounge/Bar – Any day of the week
Covent Garden – Sunday
Crystal Club – Any day
As for theater, Wicked is a must-see.
Dude about your laptop,
have you tried checking if your wifi connection is enabled, some notebooks disable the connection to the driver when the switch is turned off, so when you do turn it back on you have to re-enable the connection. also you might try uninstalling the wireless driver than reinstalling it.
Let the guy enjoy his vacation the way he wants, geez some people.
Enjoy ur time ..

london will be even more cheaper if you have a time share.
Sorry but what do you love about a 2X2 bedroom with 0.5 sm bathroom painted Orange?
The first one is right NFS. What are you on about? It’s bad English (sorry Mark) but aside from the lack of a comma, it’s grammatically correct.
I need a coffee, I don’t even know why I’m writing this :)
You are not like Jew penny pincher!
You stimulate the UK economy!
I hope you’re considering going to Borough Market, its a must
i think its the first time i hear “cheap” and “London” in the same sentence…since i’m thinking of moving there next year that’s a relief!!
The number of Kuwaitis arriving in London during the past couple of days is shocking.
yo man, gimme a call.
@ Anonymous, well considering the prices of the british airways tickets, and the half term holidays and the credit crisis (cheap stuff). Why not ???
Be sure to pass by Piccadilly street. Go through the Piccadilly library. Even if you dont like books, just go in there. Its an experience.
