one time i stayed at this hostel called "the generator" in london. the neigborhood wasn't too bad, but you could tell there were better places to be. well, as i was leaving early in the morning to go see the british museum, i saw a near collision between a bicyclist and a car. LOL! you should've seen those 2 go at it. One had a cockney accent, the other had another distinctly English dialect. I've never heard so many creative insults hurled at someone. I'll give the trophy to the bicyclist for his consistently innovative use of the word "wanker." One of those chance encounters that makes traveling a joy.
