Wednesday night gig @ Purpleturtle, Camden Town. Ive never been into the whole gig scene, but after this night, Ive become a convert. What made it a good night was the combination of good company, drinks and music. Susie (Chris sister) has an amazing voice.
Sat night out in Shoreditch. Everytime I go to the east end of london, I forget how different it is from the west. To give the biggest generalization, you find the rich, posh, white suburbs with high street end shops in western london, and in east london, you find a melting pot of cultures, arty crowds and alternative shops. I had dinner with my friend, Mon from Sydney at this popular viet restaurant that serves large bowls of pho at affordab prices. Afterwards, we hit two bars, whose name escapes me.
Afternoon tea today @ Savoy Hotel was lush. Extravagant prices, but the experience was worth it. The ambience was perfect - beautiful decor, soothing piano music, and the smell of fresh lillies everywhere. The service was impeccable and so were the [unlimited] sandwiches, pastries, scones and the pots of tea (the earl grey was the best!).

I hate the technical side to this blog. I wish I was tech-savy and could read html script as though they were English words.
This week is going to be a riot. My friend, Jan from my young days is arriving in London on Tuesday and its going to be crazy. I can already envisage lots of shopping, food and cocktails. On Thursday, we will be jetting to Rome with Chris, Rosh, and Jase.
