Croatia!

So we're off to Croatia today and I am so excited!! Time to get some sun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not much else going on, we have been preoccupied with preparing for our trip.

We did go out the other night which was a lot of fun! I'm sure most of you have seen the picture of me from another wild night out. I won't go into details about that night because i really don't know any. But the other night I do remember and we had a blast. Made some new friends including an Australian girl who hates Australia, which resulted in a few friendly arguments about who's country is better. Oscar had fun offering people hot chips then, when they accepted, he would refuse to give it to them. Met a nice German fellow during his escapades.

The night life here is epic! So many places to go and even more people to meet. When we get back from our little trip we're finally going to go and check out Fabric and Ministry of Sound, should be crazy good.

Not much else to update you all on except that the next time you here from me it will be from another European country, so I'm sure i'll have a lot to say then!

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!

I SAW A SQUIRREL! i thought it was exciting. they're so cute!

we went to the 'London Dungeon' on Thursday (http://www.the-dungeons.co.uk/london/en/index.htm). very scary stuff. it took us about 2 and half hours to get in. the line is insane. and it's like that every day! we walk past it every time we go to the station so after observing the line for a few days we realised there wasn't going to be a time when we could just walk in. it really appealed to us (well mainly me) because we had a two for one voucher and thought "why not?". Oscar said that it didn't scare him but when we were walking through a pitch black room, only able to see when the strobe light went off, and some freaky woman suddenly appearing in front of you, he grabbed on to me for protection. it went for 90minutes so the wait was worth it.

We went to see some free theatre down the road from us which was really entertaining. i have no idea what the play was but they were amazing, i don't know why it was free. On the way to the play we walked past the scene of a Bollywood film currently in progress. there was a small crowd watching them making it. on the way back the crowd had grown tremendously! it was impossible to get past them all.

Yesterday we met up with Peter and he took us to some of the parks. it was nice to walk around and get some pictures of the swans and geese and to look at all the flowers. we also went down new bond street where all the designer stores are. we didn't bother going into any of them because i was sure i would be refused entry looking like i obviously didn't have any money to spend. i was also worried that i would break something and end up spending the rest of my life paying it off. but we did stand outside looking at the displays at the jewellery stores. i was amazed at how many diamonds could be crammed into one watched. i was actually surprised it worked. i got to see where the beatles had their unannounced concert on the rooftop of 3 Savile Row. we then went to Hamleys toy store where i realised that there is a heaven on earth. i loved it. it's just 5 stories of awesomeness. they have some sweet toys. i wish to work there haha.

anyway, i have probably left things out but i'm in a rush to go out! so CIAO! xoxo gossip girl

hello everyone! i've been lazy and haven't written a post in a while! but i'm back.

oscar and i just got back from shopping on oxford street. second day of shopping and we're both buggered. it's awesome! the fashion is amazing but the buildings that the clothes are sold in are even more so. the history and beauty of these buildings is astonishing. everytime i walk down the street i'm amazed. we went to a shopping center where everything was ridiculously expensive. i wasn't surprised though, prada, chanel, louis vuitton and many other designer stores. sarah, you would be in heaven! hahah

we met up with peter and he showed us around his area in covent garden. we walked past all the street performers which was amusing. there was a guy who painted his face like a dog and stuck his head through a hole in a table with a dog house on top. the effect was pretty cool, he actually looked like a dog chilling in its house. it looked rather uncomfortable though. another guy looked freakishly like jack sparrow. but all he did was sway on a stool looking drunk. lots of fun!

i've was sick for a few days so not much else has been happening. we're planning on going to the theatre soon and doing some more touristy things and at the end of the month we're off to croatia! i can't wait!!

i keep forgetting to take my camera with me but here are a few pictures from where we're staying! i'll keep you posted!

much love!
