wild west

toook me a lot longer than i expected to re-adjust to british time, 8 hours is alot!
but i did have a brilliant time when i was there, i met red indians, cowboys, and biker gangs, its jus like on tv! also went to a real cowboy town, went horse riding near the canyons, saw the settings for sooo many movies and watched a live performance of "phantom" (phantom of the opera) in las vegas, which was just amazing! but a good holiday jus makes it all the worse wen u return... imagine spending 3 weeks in the hot desert then coming home to rainy england...
still one thing i can say abt here is we jus don't realise how lucky we are when it comes to eating halal food. it is VERY HARD eating halal in america, its nothing like england, they don't do vegetarian, they dont have those lovely little "v" signs everywhere. you may go into a restaurant and order fried shrimp and rice but the shrimp will be beer battered and the rice boiled in chicken broth, veg. soup also contains chicken/pork broth! so you really gotta wise up... guess you don't become one of the fattest nations by eating vegatables!

no i didnt get put into sona.. but that's only because sona's in panama, not mexico... i jus strtd season 4 last night, went through abt 5 or 6 episodes, the first few episodes are in LA, and Anaheim i was so excited i was litereally shoutin at the tv "OMG, i've been there!" especially at one point there behind the ferris wheel in santa monica, and i was litereally stood right there! i'd have left him a note had i have known...
again sucre was lying on the road in panama (he left his gf and aunt in mexico and he and belleck went to panama), but if u want to conenct tijuana to prison break... in the last episode of season 3 where Tbag is betraying Lucero, he says "come on! we're not in Tijuana haggling over a blanlet" because that's what u do there, haggle over things like tht... when we were crossing the mexican border, we saw little huts jus like in prison break when micheal and sucre are on the mexican border trying to get a plane... lol I better stop I think im sounding a little obsessed, I don’t even season 4 that much!
anyways, hope belgiums goin well… simon tells me yor gonna be homeless at the end of the month, or "le sans abri" as they say in french
