UK People, Listen Up
Jan. 6th, 2011 05:46 pmOkay, so this is about my crazy plans about going to London in June, which are mostly motivated by frustration. Bitter, bitter frustration. Over here, we usually go on a one-week trip with school when we're in 12th grade, and since I'm going with my English class, we're going to the UK. I was all for going to London, especially because of musicals! and also London! but my teacher didn't want to go there. Also, as it turns out, we are going in August because our holidays are so early this year and therefore we can't go in June as we normally would have done.
We are going to Manchester. In August. So I checked what's on in Manchester during that time, and it turns out that the theatres' summer break is on. Also, Glee live concerts are in June. This all made me very very cranky because I've always wanted my first time in the UK to be something very special, a wonderful experience (which, for me, involves musicals or something of the kind). And so I decided that this could not be my first time in the UK. So much for the introductory blabla.
Some of you may or may not know that my dad works and lives in Paris most of the time. From there, it's only a train ride of a little more than two hours to London so I could basically hop on the train there, go see a musical or something and come back, but if I'm there, I'd really rather make it two musicals (I'm thinking Shrek and Billy Elliot). I was thinking about going to a Glee live concert too but the tickets are really expensive and I don't want to go on my own and... this is where you come in.
Do any of you want to meet up/go with me/help me not get lost in London? Also, would any of you be willing and able to accomodate me sometime inbetween June 25 and June 30 for maybe two or three days? And if not, can you recommend any cheap hotels that are good nonetheless?
It's one of the craziest plans I've ever made but I really, really want it to work out. Soooo... what do you say?
