Highlights
Harrods: One of the most elite department stores in the whole of London. It really was. I went to the Women’s department and fell in love. Dior, Chanel, Jimmy Chou, Gucci, Juicy, and every possible classy and top designer product had its own section and had very ready attendants waiting to help. It was so nice there. Everything cost a fortune and there was an overpriced, super fancy food area downstairs with sushi bars and gourmet foods and then in the candy store, which was also huge, there were so many good chocolates there that I wanted to eat. There were the most beautifully crafted chocolates ever, including high heel shoes with chocolate and white chocolate and other things to make jewels on them. So elaborate, but you aren’t allowed to take pictures. Lame. I decided that one day, I HAVE to become filthy rich and buy things there. Oh man. I want to live in England one day. I just have to. Or somewhere else foreign. I love the U.S. but I want to live abroad for a few years. At least in some cool country.
Chinese Food Place: Lessons learned--always order TAP water (not still or sparkling), and avoid expensive Chinese restaurants in general.
Sprinting to the theater: Getting separated on the tube from the group and watching the tube doors almost crush one of the girls, then beating them to the tube stop and get direction from a guy on his iPhone. Then afterward sprinting a quarter of a mile. Man. The show was “The Woman in Black” and was one of those plays where you jump in your seat. It’s basically a two man act with limited props, and they do an excellent job with it. I think my favorite part of the play was sitting next to Liz and having her jump, while Ramzi laughed next to her. I also enjoyed hearing afterward that Dursteler jumped in his seat at one of the parts
Woman in Black Jokes: A woman died in one of the flats this summer and the jokes for that in relation to the play are endless and some people really freaked at that play. I didn't think it was really that scary. It was just entertaining.
Kensington Creperie: Right off South Kensington tube station--had crepes there two nights in a row. Both bananas and chocolate. First night milk chocolate, second night dark chocolate. I'm in love with Belgian chocolate.
A Knight's Fee: Our room has endless jokes about its sleep enhancing abilities. I think I've fallen asleep reading it for our Teen Lit class at least eight times. Worst book ever.
The British Museum: Can you say... Rosetta Stone? Also, a statue that looks like Dum Dum from Night at the Museum. Awesome. I want to buy everything Rosetta Stone related in the gift shop.
Nando's: The chicken sandwich is even better the second time
Finally... drumroll please: KHAN'S--best Indian place I've been to so far. Haha. Never actually been to an Indian food place before, but the company, plus the food and environment = such a fun night. One for the books.
P.S. Most of my favorite things listed are food. Please don't judge me. I'm not that fat.
