mattbellMy fantastic hosts in London:
I'm actually holding the camera for this picture. It's a group self-portrait. Long arms are good.
We went to a party that had the ostensible purpose of watching a particularly important football match, but it appeared the host's primary aim was to cook a lot of good food and see that people ate it. I did not complain. I spent a lot of time at the party meeting a very interesting and diverse group of Londoners and dancing to what may have been the worst DJ ever -- a drunken partygoer who poked and prodded at the premade party playlist, often stopping songs halfway through when he got bored of them.
On the way to the party, we saw firsthand how big football is here as our bus passed by the stadium. Many of the attendees were already sloshed. We had a subway car full of them, singing their way to the game while wearing identical jerseys.
Look how happy the guy on the left is, and the game hasn't even started yet. The guy on the right was extremely proud of his tattoos and likely won't be moving to a different part of England anytime soon.
