On Saturday, Mika, Jess, and I went down towards Embankment and headed towards a new/retro indie hipster bar called the Queen of Hoxton. Supposedly, according to TimeOutLondon, the bar was supposed to be amazing, but it was more or less alright. We wound up leaving around 1am and hit up another Kebab/Fried Chicken Restaurant in search of the N5 bus back to Colindale. Ultimately, we wound up walking around and running into the two craziest crazies we have met in London since January. Both were King's College students, Brit and Frenchie, and were desperately searching for directions on how to get to their bus station. Now, with my iPhone in hand, we gave them directions which were along the same way we were going so we talked for the time, only to hear some of the most wacked out stories I have ever heard. Anywho, we got to our stop, avoiding the dreaded N91 bus to Cockfosters, and got back to Colindale around 3:30am.
On Sunday, London celebrated St. Paddy's Day in Trafalgar Square with some good 'ole Irish music. We got down to Leicester Square around 2pm and there must have been at least a good 100,000 people already there, with more on the way. There were thousands, upon thousands more people there than on Chinese New Years. They didn't have much traditional Irish fare food, but the Guinness was flowing, so it felt somewhat authentic. After about 4-5hrs. there, we headed back to the dorms.
