On the way from Brugges I took the tube to London to visit Jas who's now studying there... among the usual touristy things, I also bravely attended half of a futures and options seminar at LBS whereupon I remembered that numbers and financial concepts were not quite my thing. Did a fair bit of running around with Jas in the afternoon in Chinatown and the Art Museum etc. I saw Van Gogh's sunflower. It is very good. The weather was crap - it was like negative 1 degrees. Which gave me good cause to wear the new wedge boots I bought in Brugges and to justify that expenditure :) *hehe* In any case, Jas took heaps of photos for me... (which made my 2-day stay in London quite a well-documented affair) including photos of every starbucks that we passed by, just for kicks. We also managed to catch Mary Poppins which was very good... although for some reason I fell asleep momentarily towards the ending. Also, got food poisoning as a result of having a meal in an Italian restaurant in Nottinghill. Maybe it was the water... anyways, no pics for that. Yes, and we did not sit on the London eye, although I'd like to. In any case, random fact - the Singapore eye which faces my window looks like it'll be ready soon. They've managed to finish another 1/4 of it while I was away in Auckland the past 5 days! That's fast!
