The pictures looked nicer.

PROS:
- No curfew
- Interesting people there (depending on who your roommates are)

I came to visit London on the 27th of April, and it just so happened that we went on a tour that evening in the East End of London.  Our tour guide suggested to go on Brick Lane to check out the Indian food there.  Somehow, the man on the street…More »

My friend told me the following, "When you go to Convent Garden, you will see a cookie store.  You'll know it when you see it."  

Cookie store?  There's probably a bunch of them.  However, I definitely knew what she was talking about.

I swear there's…More »

I wish they had these in Toronto.  Fast food on the go.  Not only that, it's HEALTHY.  My friends and I came here quite often for breakfast/lunch because we lived at a hostel just down the road.  It was delicious and just great ol' comfort food for a…More »

I think this is one of the cutest things ever.  Inspired by 826 Valencia in San Francisco, London has opened its own tutoring centre with a monster supply store in the front.

Decorated with cute things like a board with monster ads, the store is lined…More »

Our tour guide suggested this place to us for authentic German food.  We got there, and it was pretty quite initially (but it was still early).  We ordered a pork shank/hock, schnitzel, and currywurst (all…More »

Surprisingly, not bad for a non-Asian country (but I…More »
