Long Day...

We started this day off with a quick tour of the area and there is a lot we did not know.  Did some shopping, its amazing how much organic food they have and the selection...  The exchange ratio is still crappy as all hell but hopefully it will get better.  Anyways, we took the tube around for awhile and stopped at Piccadily Circus.  We went to a store and they had scorpion vodka, ant lollipops, pearl lollipops, chocolate covered ants, just plain old weird stuff.  The giant jumbotrons were really cool and the atmosphere was so lively.  We end up at China Town as well and it was crazy since it was the Chinese New Year.  People were everywhere and the atmosphere was so lively.  We came back, made some food, and then went out again, doing the exact same thing but in the dark, which was really cool.  We found Queens way, which is like boys town I guess, I just know it was really creepy.  We ended going toward Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and then headed home.  One small caveat:  the pubs close at like 11pm here, which is super early for us and is kind of disappointing.  Oh well, classes start tomorrow so I am off to bed.  Night!
