   	Thank you, kindly (albeit belatedly).  It's easy for me to start   
   rambling on about my insecurities and weird little obsessions.   
      
   	I've read some Kingsley Amis, although thinking it over I suspect   
   more essays rather than fiction and I'm not sure whether I have read   
   _Lucky Jim_ ever.

   	I took some notes during the trip, and had some things like   
   receipts and maps of the art gallery and the like to use as reference.   
   Most of the really pertinent details I wrote out in e-mails and such to   
   friends interested in sides of the trip and so this ended up being the   
   version written in corners of spare time with scattershot references to   
   look back on.
