Well, I'm currently blogging in a McDonalds, as the wireless internet in my flat is less than stellar. Anyway, the past few days have been fairly uneventful. Yesterday, I went to Nottingham and Portobello Road with some of my roommates. Portobello Road is basically a giant, outdoor flea market for all sorts of cool antiques as well as amazing and very cheap food. There is a cupcake bakery called "Hummingbird Bakery" which has the most delicious cupcakes!
Afterwards, I went exploring in Chelsea (that's in West London). I think Chelsea is my second favorite area in London. My first- is obviously Covent Garden. Covent Garden is in the heart of the theatre district in London. It's a short walk away from both Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. Anyway back to Chelsea, I saw Chelsea stadium (the soccer stadium). The outside of the stadium is amazing by the way. I really want to see a Chelsea game while I'm here, but the tickets are very pricey (cheapest tickets I have come across are 50 pounds (that's about $75) for the worst seats) and sell out very quickly. So, keep your fingers crossed. I promise pictures of the stadium will be on my blog shortly!
Besides that, I am feeling less like a tourist and more like I belong here. Something amazing happened today as I was walking back from Sainsbury's, the grocery store here, a tourist asked me for directions. I was actually able to give him directions to the place he wanted to go- in this case, The Natural History Museum. This was a complete 360 for me- since I'm the one usually getting lost and having to ask for directions all the time. Cheers!
I have not had the chance to upload my images yet, but here are some images of Chelsea stadium (Stamford Bridge) that I found on the Internet!
