London’s Calling
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been going out a fair bit lately, meeting other locals and couchsurfers in London. I’ve been to a bit portion of London now, the most recent being Camden Town. Camden is amazing, it’s a massive marketplace and full of nice little food stalls. Saturday I went down to South London (Croydon/Selhurst) to see my Reading Festival friends and watch Crystal Palace get thrashed by sCUNThorpe 0-4. They’re having a laugh. Went out in Soho later that night for my mate’s birthday, nothing too flash, went to a casino which was quite dodgy and some ice cream which was nice… I’ve been burning up cash quick here, everything’s so expensive and getting fillings ain’t cheap either, but at least that problem is behind me. The dentist guy was very nice though, giving me student discounts and the like.
Last week involved meeting up with some Sydney girls who are also on exchange and walking along tower bridge and seeing tower of London (from the outside), house parties, a few pubs, curry in brick lane and then heading over to the Ten Arms (the pub where Jack the Ripper selected his victims), nice walks from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace, through to South Kensington and Hammersmith. Going to a few galleries as well, which is free so very much the cheapest option here; went to the National Gallery in Trafalgar and V&A in South Kensington.
Last destinations before leaving this Saturday will have to be British Natural History, British Museum and Science Museum.

Camden was the shit, no? XD
I was so fucking jazzed I was staying there once I walked around. Like, I mean, the rest of London was pretty cool, but Camden itself is just a totally awesome place to hang.
“..British Natural History, British Museum and Science Museum.”
