Getting "robbed" in London

Where to begin?

At the moment I am staying with a couple of friends (Bård & Helen) in Bethnal Green. We went to college together so i always visit them when Im in London. It is also great to be back in London again.

However I have already run into trouble. I haven't even left for India yet and already I had my bag with visa cards, mobile phone and cash stolen. I guess Im a bit too relaxed in London, it was my own fault for not paying attention. It all happend when I went for a coffee with a friend. It is a horrible feeling when you notice you have lost something. At first I panicked a bit, but managed to call and arrange for card and phone to be shut off. Then we quickly located a police station...erm..well actually by pure luck or some kind of weird intuition I ran straight into it. Reprted the phone stolen and called Helen to let her now that the housekey I had borrowed also was lost (!) The rest of the day I spent making a bunch of phone calls, faxing etc. Eventually I got some cash wired from insurance...so everything turned out ok in the end:)

Then when all this was sorted, I called to reconfirm my flight and found out that they had canceled it!!!!?? (due to the Afghanistan conflict/war)

...and no one had even told me. I was pretty pissed off, but couldn't be bothered making a fuss about it, so I got a new flight for Saturday morning instead (2 days later).

Not much else is happening, since London is a pretty expensive city to move about in, but I have met a few other friends and seen a couple of films. ok..no point in babbling on when there isn't that much to write about..Il try to update whenever I can:)

(Ps!
Funny addition: When Helen heard I had been "robbed" she sent and sms to my now lost phone saying the following: "You Cunt!" Then later back in Norway my mother sorted out the insurance and replaced my phone getting my old number back. When they turned it on, the first sms that ticked in was of course the "You cunt" message. My mother had no idea what it meant, but my brother understood and just told her (without too much detail) that it was not a nice thing to say...haha. They told me about this weird and rude sms later while I called home from India, and I just had to laugh so much and explain them the story...haahaha!)
