Compressed highlights
(because there is too much to write about, I will just have be concise.)
# Fourth day of work / Thursday
Emelie came to London. We went to a lovely japanese restaurant in Soho, basement floor and proper soba/udon and plum wine. Felt like back in Tokyo almost.
Afterwards we all went to At Proud, everyone was on guestlist and whe I said hi to Mr. Proud he told the bar to give us all free drinks! We saw:
Lucky Soul. They were really cute and happy and we got signed free CDs and the night was perfect.
# Fifth day of work / Friday
Went to Spitalfields Market near Liverpool St to see the Alternative Fashion Week because a designer Jen was working for (Jasper Gravida) was showing his clothes off.
Jen had made earrings for him, which me and Em both helped in wrapping up the night before actually. Lunch in LEON (a new favorite now), café in the market which feels like home with bookshelves and mismatched furnitures. Then I worked the afternoon. At night we went to Café Suki for a japanese electro/dj/dance night, near Brick Lane and crammed with cool looking japanese people. Met a few of Jen's chinese friends, and a bunch of us stumbled into a british pub which was having a karaoke night. I sang Yellow by Coldplay! Don't have any photos from that, but Jen took a video. Will get it off her later.
# Saturday
We spent a few hours eating dim sum in China Town.
With Jen's 30+ friends who were all established designers. Then we went shopping.
I love Dover Street Market. Rei Kawakubo (Comme des garcons) is a genius. Touching all the clothes seen on shows and magazines, what a feeling! We quite liked the left pair of shoe:
Here Jen is pointing at Katarzyna Sczcotarska. She is selling in the shop, and Jen helped make the clothes! (Well the labels anyway)
We window shopped Bond Street, Oxford street. Got tired and took refuge in the french chain PAUL.
# Sunday
Today I met Adrian and we went to:
The British Museum. And saw some interesting stuff, such as the mummy.
Being very touristy and Sundayish we went for a walk in Hyde Park.
There was some sun, but we were not so lucky. It was quite cold sitting outside...
Then we went to meet Jen at Spitalfields again, and had some fun taking photos.
There should be a interesting movie made from them soon enough.
One week in London over. 4 more to go! Now it's back to the air mattress again.. luxurious days of double bed is over. Jen's flatmate is back.
