Update on the plague
Instead of claiming over 3000 victims a day, the plague has only ruined 3 days of my time here. I’m starting to feel like my old self and regular service will resume shortly. Yesterday (Saturday) I went with some friends to the British Museum. I’ve finally figured out why they are all free. That’s the only way people will go! Seriously though, there are some great things in there but I’m tired of looking at old chunks of rock through thick planes of glass with other rude tourists stepping on the back of my shoes and pushing me out of the way. As of right now I’m only going to check out two more on my own, the Science Museum and the Imperial War Museum. I will be attending a few more art galleries and such for my classes however.
Today I went to Petticoat Lane Market which is oddly place on MIddlesex Road. I got there a little late, 12:00, and it was packed! There were just massive mobs of people moving through the tiny central isle, vendors screaming prices out, and people arguing with one another. They were selling either clothes or junk. Well, I guess it could be said they were just selling junk. I didn’t get anything but it was cool just to walk around.
As a notice there will be an interruption of service this weekend (Friday-Sunday). I’m heading North to SCOTLAND! I’m very excited. I will be taking a train from London’s King Cross station (which is located basically in my backyard) to Edinburgh on Friday. Spending the night there and then departing for Inverness Saturday morning, returning to London late Sunday. I’m really looking forward seeing the countryside of the UK. Going by train will make this even more exciting. I will only have basic web access since I’ll only be bringing my iPhone, so updates will be very few and very short. Stay tuned for next Monday though!
