Some London Highlights

During the first few weeks some friends and I ventured out to Camden Town, one of my favorite areas of London. There's lots of markets, good (and cheap!) food and clothes, and tons of interesting people-watching to be had there.

Delicious Indian food, only 4 pounds!

The Thames River Festival also happened during our first couple of weeks in London.. it was a really cool atmosphere, lots of vendors, performance artists, and people milling around

Churros! We got some filled with chocolate and dulce de leche..so good!

One night my flatmates and I were watching The Parent Trap (the remake with Lindsey Lohan) and discovered that the house that they live in in London was in South Kensington! Obviously we had to find it, so the next day we went looking for it. This is Eggerston Terrace (aka Pembroke Lane)

My friend Stephen and I went to a "contemporary music festival" in Clapham Common one weekend. They gave us these different colored capes, then we went into this weird series of tubes that looked like this, and in the background were people singing opera or just repeating the words "red, blue, yellow, green, silver" over and over. It was pretty strange but also very cool.

Naturally we had to take some artsy pictures in order to fit in.

As a last hurrah before going off on midterm break, some friends and I went to a club in Camden to see this band, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - I had never heard of them before but they were pretty good! At one point they came out onto the stage in these cool jackets and played Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
