oh, right. Im supposed to be typing up my notes, but with the distraction outside I cant concentrate. I forgot. Its Thursday night, which means the demonstrators outside M&S are at it again. What happens are two groups - the Israelis and Palestinians - set up a stand opposite each other, and basically protest and shout slogans for a good two hours. They unfailingly appear every Thursday night armed with their flags, drums, amplifier, posters and leaflets. The London police takes it quite serious because there is always policemen standing on guard (let me check...tonight, I count eight).
Thursday is my dayyy off! yay. Earlier today, I walked to the National Portrait Gallery in the cold cold weather. It wasnt a pleasant day to be out, but I have been wanting to visit the Gallery for a long time. Personally, I found the Tudor Gallery and the contemporary portraits most interesting.
1 & 2. National Portrait Gallery
3. Marylebone High Street - discovered this street a few days, love it. its a cute street with lots of cafes, boutiques, bookstores. Apparently there is a Sunday farmers market, which I will need to check out this week. The best thing is, its only a ten minute walk from where I live
4 & 5. M&S fooooood. chippies...I mean crisps
6. electronic menu outside Busaba Thai restaurant - how innovative
7. bus #73, my main way of getting around
8. crowding onto a random bus
p/s: yay, the protestors are packing up. perfect timing.
