portobello market! with becky boo it was so fun i think we walked for four hours and 2983817249 miles haha there shiny silver pots and dusty books and millions of trinkets. we bought a charm each becky got a baby airplane i got a camera (that opens by the way) and we bought chan a baby pram hee when we were paying the guy said i hope you're getting this for a friend who's pregnant and we were like oh yeahh she's really on the way. is her husband nice? oh no husband but her boyfriend's a doll. (hahahaha)
that night we went out with liane too. the club was really euro, as was the people and music and i must say it was really fun. especially when the lines of waiters came strolling out with two champagne bottles topped with sparklers. ooh.
(paella stall!)

cambridge time. and london's almost over ): i don't know how time managed to pass so fast....
we didn't go punting in the end because it was kinda cold but. the highlight of this trip must be stew+ian+rob. stew is not that bad. despite him breaking my best friend's heart multiple times, i must say, he's kinda a sweet guy. immature at times, but well meaning and very agreeable. i wish he just wouldn't play with people's hearts like they're toys. at the same time, i can see why he would make someone very happy. i hope he grows up. and i also managed to rack up some zeedee points! hahahahaha brits are so much more interesting than americans. so much smarter execpt they can't pronounce words properly and for the most part of my stay in london, i felt like i was on the set of harry potter.

(birds of a feather, flock together)

went for amazing dim sum! omg omg so so yummy. the char siew baos were literally like soft fluffy clouds haha went with sarah's ang moh friends and they were like the only white people in the restuarant. they were also making the most noise possible (yes way more than me) and think the combination of whiteness and noise resulted in horrible service. despite me speaking in canto, we didn't get free dessert like we did when we went for lobster oodles. but the dim sum was so good! all else i've had in the states pales in comparison. oh i love london.

and then there was day nine haha totally unplanned (and uncalled) for. mainly because i'm indecisive. i stayed an extra day in london because i love it (and sarah) so much. and i mostly spent this day sleeping hahaha and almost missed my flight again! while i was deciding whether to stay longer i almost missed my original flight. so if it happened again it would be a disaster haha i was so late going to the airport that i had to take a cab and spend 40 quid on it zz but i got home safe (: my connecting flight was in dc and almost every other flight was cancelled there because of a snow storm but mine wasn't thank god. the next day i had an interview! oh how normal life sucks.
good bye london! it was a beautiful love affair.
ps i think i just found the song that embodies my entire trip to london haha
eh where did you go for dim sum in the end!
