Gung Hoi Fat Choi!!
Well, it has been a couple of days since I last updated but there has not been much happening everyday except doing more work for classes. The weather is starting to get colder and nastier each day with brief breaks of nice sun coming through, which is nice.
On Friday, we went to a bar off of Mornington Crescent called Positively 4th Street, which was supposed to be based upon a Rolling Stones song, I think. It was kinda cool, it more or less resembled a hipster pub/bar. It was also the first time that we met Mika’s girlfriend Noora, who is visiting for the next three weeks. It was fun, but the drinks were expensive, so we ultimately called it an early night.
On Sunday, they had the Chinese New Year celebrations for the previous weekend’s New Year. There was traditional Chinese dancing and festival style routines happening in Trafalgar Square. There was also lots of vendors in the streets surrounding Chinatown, which had amazing food. Jess and I wound up getting two of these chicken pie dumpling things, which filled me up so much that I did not even finish the second one. It was amazing though, spicey yet tastey all at the same time. We had ultimately though of staying dor the fireworks in Leicester Square but we considered the crowds and getting back to campus at a decent hour might be the better decision. There was work again from Golders Green all the way to Camden Town, which meant we had to take the bus making a usual trip time of 25minutes into almost 1.5 hours.
Otherwise, the weeks have been flying by and I can’t believe that next week is already March. Papers are finally coming due, so there is high stress at this point. I can’t wait to just turn these things in and just be done.
