No.
It was pretty fun, there was lots of snarky commentary and sheer disbelief, but also some nice things. Like Pollocks and Picassos.
She's really nice and I think I'll try to hang out with her a lot because she's interested in traveling and seeing stuff as well.
Everyone's pretty nice so far. I do get along with my flatmates but I don't see them very often because everyone sort of does their own thing. But twice now when they've been planning to go out, I've joined them in pregaming with card games and alcohol, which is lots of fun.
Also I got a phone. Nothing huge, just to text and in case something goes horribly wrong.
It's a little flip phone with no camera, no internet and a pink back. I feel so 2004.
I got it at the O2 store in the Westfield, which is a big mall one Tube stop down in Stratford, which is also right next to the Olympic Park (so I'll be checking that out eventually). I'd been to the mall once before, my second weekend, but I was still pretty timid so I didn't really explore very much, but when I went back on Tuesday it looked much more inviting and I'll probably go on a big shopping trip sometime this week.
The Starbucks has a wall of cups signed by Olympic athletes that got drinks there. It was cool. A lot of people from Canada and Australia and Japan, and of course dozens of British athletes.
It's so awful here. Like I know it's not snowing and I should be glad, but I'm not, because with snow at least there's something pretty to look at, whereas here I wake up and I see another grey sky, and most or the brick buildings I see from my window are brown or this absolutely gross yellow, and I believe the entirety of Britain is covered in a thin layer of moss.
Awful.
Tomorrow's the big Chinese New Year celebrations so I think I'll wander in the general vicinity of Chinatown (it's near Leicester Square) and see what's what. If the weather's not too awful, that is.
Quite warm there. And grey here too!
ReplyDeleteI love "No." That should be on the cover of a History of Art textbook.
