25th August, 2008: Transformers! London Buses In Disguise… ?
Once again, I spent the weekend up London way, though this time it was in the company of the rest of the ex-Kauffman Global Scholars, as George hosted the first of our reunions. It was great catching up with everyone, seeing how everyone’s progressing and re-adjusting to “real life”, and generally spending time with the old crew again.
Yesterday, a few of us headed into central London for the Olympic Closing Celebrations/Handover, which was fun. I do think it’s great we’re hosting the Olympics in 2012, though I’m personally just a little bit cynical (warning: may be an understatement) about how we’re going to do as hosts. Maybe my cynicism is entirely misplaced; I certainly hope I’ll be proved wrong!
I did rather enjoy our delightful little 8 minute slot though. A funky little video (much later edit: this one, in fact), a bizarre interpretive dance, a sweet little girl, an inaudible Leona Lewis, and David Beckham. What more could I ask? Okay, so it wasn’t completely brilliant, but it’ll do. (Though how British is that attitude!)

I especially liked the transforming bus. I was, however, disappointed it didn’t turn into a giant robot. Now that would have been cool.

Cool picture Mitu, it was great to see you at the reunion, make sure you stay in touch.
I'm gonna start blogging soon, but I need some more geeky friends to follow my exploits, most of uni pals are giving up facebook which indicates that they would just spaz out if I gave them a blog URL!!
Speak soon and keep on running…
George

A transformer bus would have been money well spent :)

Seriously, the whole time it was 'transforming' I was crossing my fingers it would turn into Optibus Prime. ;)

Cheers George. You should definitely start a blog. I'd read it!
Your geeky friend,
