Having recently engaged in some serious intercontinental travel (Switzerland to New Zealand via Singapore), I have endured my share of long flights. On the way to NZ I watched 3 movies (Enchanted, August Rush and Juno) as well as a few episodes of various TV shows including House, The Office and 30 Rock. On the way back, I watched No Country for Old Men, Michael Clayton, American Gangster and Gone Baby Gone.
My experiences on the flights got me to thinking, which is worse: sitting near someone with too much perfume/cologne on or sitting near someone with bad body odor? I experienced both, and even I am not sure which one I would choose if given that Sophie's Choice.
Excessive perfume gives me a headache and deadens my taste buds. Of course deadened taste buds aren't always bad when faced with typical airline food. Bad body odor is just really disgusting.
What say you friends list? Which would you choose?
So, I'm off to London in a week via Germany. I'm very excited, as I haven't been to London in over 20 years. I'm also excited to be visiting with some good friends who are very familiar with the city and will be my tour guides for my week's stay.
Does anyone have any suggestions for places to go for short (3-4 mile) runs in London? How about a longer run of about 6-8 miles? I will be staying downtown near the British Museum. It's possible that given all the walking I may just bag running altogether, as I'm a little nervous to go jogging out on my own alone.

We visited the Alsace region of France last summer. I love the cozy architecture of the old streets, but I'm glad I don't have to drive on them.
