Oh man that is a sweet story. And you are right - nothing of all this would have happened if there had not been for that damn bike theft. It looks it was really meant to happen! Take care in London buddy, I am looking forward to meeting up with you again!
You see, in the end it wasn't all that bad! When are you coming back? The months are passing by incredibly fast.
I don´t know exactly yet, probably in summer or early fall? :)
