We went to see Avenue Q on Thursday which was hilarious! i seriously recommend going to see it. It was one of the best musicals i've seen and was so entertaining. Gary Coleman is in it and plays himself.
We went to the Tate Modern but didn't go into any exhibitions because we didn't have money. but we did see all the free stuff! There is some weird contemporary and surrealist art there which was pretty cool. i don't know a lot about art so some things just seriously confused me. i didn't enjoy the paintings that i realised i could do myself. like a canvas with different coloured squares on it... but the majority of it was amazing. my favourite were the Picasso paintings. although that could have been because he's the only artist i knew.
Today we went to the London History museum and i really enjoyed it. Some parts were interactive so i was entertained AND educated. we saw the lower jaw of a mammoth right up to the city London is now. there were a shit load of ancient artefacts but i was disappointed when i found out that some of my favourites were only replicas of the real deal. such a rought. i got to touch clay floors from when the Romans occupied London. surprisingly it didn't feel much different to dried clay now.
I bought myself a cool analogue camera. Oscar and i have been having heaps of fun with it and are about to get our first roll of film developed. i got the Diana Mini. the cheapest one.
We also went to Camden Markets yesterday which has been my favourite place so far! The markets are huge and crowded! but most things are cheap and there is some weird and wonderful stuff. We had a blast checking everything out and doing some shopping. it did rain but it was a blessing because it didn't last long and it got rid of a lot of people. mainly tourists! woohoo!! the best store was the raver shop called 'Cyberdog'. i thought of you Riley. it was 3 stories of raver gear. the music was pumping and the lazers were strobing. there were dancers up on podiums, glowing in the ultra violet lights. the people who worked there were freaking me out. one guy was so over the top in weird head gear and robotic outfit. i think it was unrealistic to ever wear something like that to a rave, he could barely walk. even his hair was glow in the dark. these people were dedicated.
So i think that sums up everything so far. this week Oscar and i are going to finish organising our upcoming trip!
lots of love!
