worldly nerd (part III) - chill night & MORE RAIN
let's see... where was i?
ahhh, yes... the meeting. well, the program that my friend is in, the one that allows her the opportunity to work in london for a year, meets every so often to go over cultural stuff (from what i ascertain). we get there and they are doing presentations on things within the english culture. the first group that we see are doing a presentation on rugby & how it differs from football in america. this presentation was actually pretty good... the next one was about whether or not england should join the european union, monetarily... they still have the pound-sterling and have not switched over to the euro. the last one was about some of the great english literary figures... they did a puppet show with shakespeare, chaucer, and dickens... it was ok...
needless to say, i was definitely ready to go when it was over. it was koowelle though, reminded me of DAPCEP from back in the day... except the focus was on the foreign culture.
after "class"... we caught up with some other folks and went to a local bar/pub and split a bottle of wine. it was pretty good... pinot grigio (i think).... from there we went to a club... i guess you'd call it that. they had live acts perform. guess you'd say it was like an open mic night... it too was okay. it was koowelle being out...
sorry, it twas not that exciting, but i still had a good time. it was kinda chill and laid back.
today, i got up and went to a cafe on baker street... a kinda cool area of town for breakfast. i had bacon and eggs with toast. the bacon was more like ham & the eggs were supposed to be scrambled, but they were of a consistency unlike anything i've had before. i think it was rye toast. i was famished... so i devoured my food. then i walked around to explore the neighborhood because i had a little time to burn. i discovered the sherlock holmes museum/ store. i saw a bunch of street that definitely reminded me of what i imagined london to be as well... oh yeah, did i mention that i was inundated with a constant mist/rain? how did i get to baker street, you may ask... no, i did not take the tube, although i could've. i took the double-decker bus!! it was kinda cool...
after that i made my way to the tower of london... more on that later...
