At Midnight you can watch the British version of cops... better than British Prime Time

So... today I walked a ton of distance. I don't know why I didn't expect a lot of walking, but it seems so obvious and so healthy. I'll probably loose like ten pounds on this trip because 1. Tons of walking as iterated in the earlier statement and 2. you eat a lot less here because of the high prices. Today, I made a small bowl of rice, which i clearly did not cook long enough. It was disgusting.. but that's just the way it goes... Tomorrow I will try again.. I hope I didn't buy really crappy rice... I need to hit the grocery store tomorrow... eggs are expensive... But in the states they are so cheap... it's not fair. Also, wine is really cheap here. Cheaper than beer. You can get five bottles for $8 at some places. Alright... now to the real show.

To explain today's adventure, it begins with the weather. When I heard that the weather here was unpredictable... i kind of believed it. But this morning, My flat mates and I went to orientation and once it was over, we entered the tube (like we have to do every day). We entered and it was perfectly sunny, we exit and it's overcast. Then, about 10 minutes later, it is raining for the rest of the day. Great... but I did make it to the Natural history museum. I guess Britain is obsessed with Charles Darwin. A nice big statue of him graces the main entrance. After basically wandering, looking for a tube stop, my friends and I went to a grocery store and returned to their place. We then cooked. It was this experience that really opened my eyes to how less expensive it is to eat at home rather than out. My first day here (yesterday), I bought a chicken sandwich and a beer for just over seven pounds. That was without fries or any side. Tonight, we bought salad, bread, pasta, sauce, salad dressing, and wine for 3 Pounds each. Pretty significant difference. Then, to top all of this off, I took the tube back to my place at like 10:30PM. I just tried to look scarier than everyone else, but I didn't need to do that. People were still out, I stuck to the busy streets, and the tube is extremely safe. That's all for now. Goodnight.
