weekend activities
i had a great first weekend here in lond-on!
highlights included:
saturday i decided to explore the 'west end'
- full cooked breakfast at nearby café to start off
- massive sports store lillywhite's at piccadilly circus
- trafalgar square, nelson's column, the crowds of people, the sun, the fountains
- the national gallery - massive art collection and an awesome exhibition of some of the more modern masters, monet, renoir, picasso
- yum char for lunch! delicious food and excellent service at a highly recommended restaurant in chinatown. it was fun dining on my own (and the staff found me quite amusing) - the only problem was i didn't order like i was on my own. 9 dishes, 2 specials, 1 super special, and three pots of tea later - i was stuffed beyond belief. my solo yum char experience lasted 2 hours and in the end cost me a whopping £34. remember that £1 is about NZ$2.80, and you can believe my shock! it was worth it though. seems like the legacy of "quick and cheap yum chars" is international.
- browsing through countless bookstores and music stores, doung lots of window shopping, and not actually buying anything (see cost of yum char above)
- watching 'miami vice' - a very cool movie, very michael mann. great action, cinematography and soundtrack, and the love story is very heartwrenching
sunday
- sleeping in
- getting lost a thousand times (there were major works on rail, underground and bus routes so there were many detours/alternative routes to be made)
- portobello market, wonderful architecture, atmosphere, sunshine, albeit average products on sale at the market stalls
- the most amazing seafood paella i have ever eaten (and lots of wine)
- vanilla cupcake from a store that makes 'the best cupcakes in the world'
as you can see, i have a lot left to see and do in london!

ahahahahahaha! moight the legacy of "quick and cheap yumchars" lives on. rock on like hard rock cafe. yea.
i'm sorry butt. i must get this off my chest (*as i put my hand on my chest*). ilia, "wo" is not written with an exclamation mark at the end. it is rather said with a flat tone that subtles conveys the preposterity or extreme chump factor of the concurrent situation. like now. wo.
back to supradha. so how were all those superclubs? remember all those superclubs with supermusik and supermodels and superdrinks with superprices? 40 pounds? daaaaaa.
man, i really wish i could be there moight. we completely blow that town apart!
over here in whakatane--arguably the sunniest town in nz--things are pretty sweet. i am honestly loving it here (ilia, i dunno what happened when you were here moight). being a house officer here doesn't actually seem like a bad idea.
anyways, supradha, keep rockin'.
Na!
whakoff
suck it
hahaha.. ahh, i love reading all your posts guys! brings a smile to my face and a happy tear to my eye.
mbop!
moight it was the best yum char ever, in the entire history of all yum chars ever yum charred in this glorious universe of ours.
mbop!
haven't been to any superclubs. although there is a lot of supermusik, and a lot of supermodels around.
yeah hoonst, it would have been awesome if you were here! you could sleep all day like you did last time you lazy bastard, and you could not understand a single word anyone was saying again. hehe jokes geoffrey! :) it would be awesome - we'd have some crazy random times!
sounds like whakatane is going well for you! ilia must have just been unlucky? poor ilia...
i'm rocking like aerosmith, baby. keep it tite like dynamite peeps, laterus
