Zen, hope you're feeling better whenever you read this. If it's cold enough to walk on the ice on the river and the heaters are shit, I'm not surprised if you have a cold. P: How long are you staying there?
I read that there's just as much chance of dying in a car accident as it is dying in a bombing in Israel. It is risky because you never know when and where might be dangerous, but that is also the case, for example, in dodgy neighbourhoods in big cities elsewhere in the world where there might be drive-bys and shit like that. So I'm not too worried. We will have to look at visa stuff and whether we have to book them in advance. Our main problem is getting back, so far the cheapest flight I've found back is from Alexandria, for over £300.. which is too much, really. Sometimes you can get last minute flights cheap, but since we're going back just after Easter, I'd rather not risk getting stranded since there are a lot of people traveling then. Which is probably why the flights are so much more expensive..

Lost, psh, why keep it a secret? I know people with much more stupid celeb crushes. You shouldn't feel ashamed of having a crush on someone.
