Holy crap! I've been busy this last weekend. I'm about to start my fourth week of classes and I've been out and about london every night for the past five days. BRILLIANT!

WEDNESDAY:

Carla (classmate from Northern Ireland) and I attempted to go to Caryl Churchill's new play "Drunk Enough to say I love you" at the Royal Court Theatre but the standing room tickets had all been sold out and we weren't interested in paying 25 pound ($50 bucks) for normal tickets. (we're planning to try again this week.) HOWEVER, on the way to the theatre we met up with Marta (classmate from Portugal) and she was on her way to meet up with a friend of hers and so we all decided to grab a bite together. As we were walking to find a place there was a clothing store with a girl out front saying, "Free chocolate, Free Champagne!". Carla, Marta's Friend, and I all just kept walking but marta stopped and asked if we had to buy anything and the girl said NO. The Store was having a little Christmas party. So we went in had free champagne (four glasses), free strawberries dipped in white godiva chocolate and rolled in coconut, free currant tarts, free cake, free godiva chocolate squares, and free FOOD!!! The clothes were all a for older women and totally overpriced.

After that wonderful experience, Carla and I separated from Marta and her friend and went to an Indian restaurant in Notting Hill. I'm not a huge fan of Indian food (Carla convinced me) and it was DELICIOUS. I think the the states just doesn't make very good Indian food, because this place was no five star but the food was great.

WEEKEND INSTALLMENT ONE.........Thursday to come......
