I've been busy since my last entry! Jordan and I went to Brick Lane Market (also called the Sunday Up Market) after my last entry. WOW! I think we spent most of our pounds on the food. There are so many different cuisines with their own booths: Ethiopian, Indian, Mexican, Japanese, Thai, German, and cupcakes ;). There are also two whole floors of stalls full of unique art, clothing, and accessories. The third floor is full of vintage clothing. I am on the look out for a short fur coat and have seen lots of potentials at this market but have yet to find the perfect one.
For my British Life and Business class we get to take field trips to places around the city. This week we went to see Harrods and the Tate Modern. Although I have been to Harrods before I don't think I explored the over 1 million square feet on 4.5 acres. You think you have finished browsing the whole floor only to turn right and walk into a whole different section. We walked into the kitchen section and I wished I could cook in my kitchen at home :( Our flat kitchen isn't the greatest (holds dirty dishes of 11 people who never seem to clean them, no spatula, oven with no temperature labels, etc). We went to the Pet Kingdom on the fourth floor to look at the puppies. They have a dessert bar with pet treats. I might just bring back one for my precious doggie Nick.
On Friday Roxanne, Brittnay, and I went to the Portabello Market in Notting Hill. This market lines the street while the Sunday Up Market is located in a building. I did more browsing than purchasing at this market. I heard that Saturday is the best day to go so I will try again this weekend.
I have made all of my travel plans! This weekend will be last in London for a while. Here is where I will be traveling --
Amsterdam for Valentine's Day Weekend
Wales: An Adventure Trip coordinated by our program, FIE
Spain -- Santander, Madrid, and Barcelona (Spring Break)
Paris: to see my Mom, Dad and Sister for her Spring Break
Berlin
Then my best friends from school (Lauren and Brittney) are coming to visit me for their Spring Break!
I also received my internship! I have an interview set up at Kindred Agency (www.kindredagency.com). I will be assisting the Finance Director. Wish me luck!
We all plan to see a musical this weekend!
Cheers
