London: Intro

2/16/06


We ventured down into the London Underground today and rode the Tube around the city. It’s actually easier than the New York subway which I thought was fantastically simple. We saw Buckingham Palace and some museums and then rode the double-decker bus around for a bit. We got off at Lester Square and checked out some local stores. There’s this one building (I forget the name) that looks like a typical miniature mall in the States, but this one in London is actually a gigantic video arcade! It was like 3 stories of games and “they” made it impossible to get out of the place without walking through the entire thing. I should have taken pictures of it, but I was so disoriented and distracted with all of the noise and flashing lights and kids running everywhere that I forgot.
I also checked out my first H&M store. Pretty cool stuff.
