Hi guys
 
For years Im planning (and saving for :)) to visit London since the city somehow atracts me. (with its high saturation of Polish imigrant or its high criminality ? noone know:))

Anyway, after years of pixelling, after hodzillions of pixels put, its finaly happening.
Im flying there for few days hopefully on July 26. (which is sayd to be Sunday).

I have a deal with my friend that he'll take care of me for a weekend and show me around London (while I'll stay at his place). That was the original plan. On monday he have to leave for work, obviously.

Though I feel I might want to stay longer, because its obvious you can't see much from the city in just one weekend.

Now comes the wird part :)
I actually do have maybe 2 more days.
But Im that kind of depressive person who don't feel right staying alone in the foreign city. Not even as a tourist.

So I had this crazy idea to find somebody who will make me company,
know ways around london - most likely lives there,
has free time - ie student or something,
and might have at least a little reason to want to meet me :)

And so I thought I'll ask around here at Pixeljoin.

So Im here asking: Would anybody be interested ?

The pros: I can dispense my (lol) divine knowledge of dark art of pixel, which I do for living for almost a milenium now. :) (bring your own notebook and mouse ;)

The cons: I am citizen of mighty republic of Czech and my spoken english might be a bit broken :) (imagine the girl from "Once". She's my countryman.)

More stuff: Im 30 (so Im looking maybe for somebody 19+?), I can sing Czech drinking songs, I can drive car badly even in my country so it would be suicide in mirrorworld.

Will edit if I'll find this too crazy or come up with something more I want to say.

Just an unneccessary clarification (Im getting paranoid :)): Im not looking for place to crash. Staying at my friends. Just someone to make me company or maybe guide + have beers with later on ;).

Also - in case no Pixeljoint-er will be interested - don't you know about any pages where you can meet people available as guides around the world ?
I know my friend used site like that to find guide\company in Thailand, but thats all I know.

@Metaru: Hey, maybe one day I will ;)

Guys I met this year in Bangkok been talking me into South america trip. Must be freakin awesome there.

Best of luck finding someone Riva. Have you tried http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php - Pixelation ? If you can't find any pixelpeeps from London here you could try there.
