once again, Im deviating from reading...
This weekend was totally unproductive. I didnt get any substantial reading done. Im going to regret it when I walk into class tomorrow. Ive uploaded some old old photos (finally)..But firstly, a run down of this weekend. I hit the markets again...yes. On Saturday, it was Portabello market in the the west end, and on Sunday, it was Brick's lane in the east end. There are markets everywhere in London, but these two are the more known ones.
On Saturday night, I went to the weirdest but the coolest looking bar/lounge Ive been to (its not really either. during day-time, its a restaurant but at night, it turns into a bar) called Sketch, just off Regent Street. I only took a few photos of the interior, but it turned out nothing quite like it does in real life. Sometimes, I hate my camera! anyways, the toilets were the most original toilets Ive been...each toilet is in an individual egg capsule. I felt like I was in some futuristic world. I searched up some photos on the net that look a lot better than mine of the venue (click
here)
Eleanor with the egg capsule toilets (love them); the live band; Julien & Juliet at the Sketch
Brick Lane: at Vibe Bar in the Shoreditch area; Andy and Monica (finally, finally see Mon after a series of mishaps with meeting up). Ill be coming back to Brick Lane whether its for the food...there are loads of Bangladeshi food stores (yes, I brought even more spices) or the clothes market that Mon brought us to. Im happy to say, I had a really good cup of coffee. I dare say, the best I had so far in London.
So, thats the weekend in photos. And here are the old photos, from the more recent to the least:
Jule & Gabu in the law library; group pic @ the Porterhouse Brewery (again)..Julia started cracking up and there she is, the one bending down; Julia 2 & Gabu; and two out-of-place market photos taken in the Portabello market (I was astonished at the size of the pumpkin!)
At a vietnamese restaurant (first viet meal since melbourne! there arent as many viet places as in Melb...one thing I miss about Melb); met up with Rosh who I have seen in ages (and who has since forgiven me for running him over on my skies in Switzerland...hahaha...he still remembers!); Rosh and his beautiful face, and eric at a nice bar in Old Street; Dez sleeping on the sofa (hehe I got the nice big double bed...thanks)
The Camden Town market I raved about previously; all the stores sell very individualistic, alternative types of clothing; woo hoo, I gotta go back (prehaps, after I find paid work...umm..haha)
The guys were late (again)...agh. but I took the opp to take photos at the Oxford Circus junction...ahh tribute to beautiful London; the guys contemplating whether to join the long queue at a Jap restaurant; Chris and Eric chowing their huge pizzas; and that scrumptious looking pizza is mine (its as good as it looks by the way...and cheap too! 3 quid)
The York photos Ive been meaning to post up for agess. Kenny drooling over the pastry selection (hehe, love that photo); us being all proper (and under dressed) for proper English tea (me having coffee instead...lolz)
This is what York looks like more or less. Lots of greenery and just beautiful architecture. There is this river that runs through it and a series of bridges that you can cross to the center of town. Ah, when I look at these photos again, I realize I really should visit other parts of England (and Ireland if possible)
Alrighty, thats it. This is bad. Blogger is bad for me. Its so late now. I am going to ban myself from posting for at least a week >.<
Have a lovely week everyone~
