(Remember when Carter asked us to tone down the swearing? This thread title is for you, man! Post more!)

Now, Ryan, being in China, gets some weird time off, when they decide they must spend time celebrating the day Mao had a wart lanced or some such shit.

According to him, he has some such time off in October, and he has considered coming to London, as it within his means to do so. Especially as he can stay at my place just in the outskirts to save on hotels!

However, since then, we have no discussed the issue, and I don't doubt he will bow to peer pressure should we work as a collective to convince him to come.

Plus, you know, Fish and Chips for him to try.

    Oh, you'll have to show him cricket! Marvelous game, really. You see, the bowler hurls the ball toward the batter who tries to play away a fine leg. He endeavors to score by dashing between the creases, provided the wicket keeper hasn’t whipped his bails off, of course.

    Dude yeah Ryan should go to England. I'm thinking about going there myself in February next year. Here's a short list why England is awesome (not necessarily in order) :

    -the rock history (Led Zeppelin, Beatles, etc etc)
    -the double-decker buses
    -red phone booths
    -neat-o accents
    -emma watson (though not so much anymore but still)
    -crumpets and scones
    -fish and chips
    -pickle and cheese sandwiches
    -you can get called "Sir Ryan" if you're a bad enough dude
    -the girls are hot

    and you're not already there why?

    I really enjoyed London while I was there. It was kind of... dirty... but enjoyable nonetheless.

    When you're looking at those red phone booths, don't forget to check the advertisements on the inside. Always good for a laugh.

    Also, you forgot The Tube on your list.

    Problem is, holiday travel tends to multiply in price.

    Traveling to the UK during normal, non holiday times is around 7200 RMB ($1050USD, or 680GBP).

    Meanwhile, if I were to travel during the holiday, the ticket price is bumped up to 16800RMB ($2500 USD, or 1580GPB).

    So yeah. Shit's expensive.

    Can't you just walk or something? Asia touches Europe, you're practically in Europe already.

    I agree with Adam; it just sounds like excuses to me.

    Are you kidding? If I walked across Asia and Europe to the UK, I'd have to cross through all sorts of dangerous and uncivilized countries, like France.

    Besides which I don't think you can walk to England, it being an island and all.

    Bruce.

    This year, the vacation comes to Ryan.

    Next year, when he gets a week off for Mao's wart lancing and recovery (毛沢東疣突金週), he shoud use the time wisely and go to England. I recommend taking time off beforehand so he can get a head start on his bicycle.
