We survived (actually thrived) with another beautiful day in London. Temperatures were in the 60s-70s Fahrenheit, with a slight breeze rolling around the city. We did not have any school plans, but had a fair amount of goals to accomplish throughout the day.
- Find a wok/frying pan and knife
- Find hangers and a set of doorstops
- Get Oyster Cards (London Public Transport pre-pay cards)
- Eat somewhere cool for lunch
- Explore the city a bit
Not only did we manage to do all that, but we also accomplished some other awesome (baby-steps, but awesome) tasks on our third day in London.
We also:
- Successfully took the Underground, even changing lines!
- Adventured all over SoHo and Chinatown
- Found a delightful costume shop that amused us and was the source of our new proud Union Jack dining room decoration.
- Had some phenomenal bubble-tea!
- Navigated to a open-air market on a local's “English-language” instructions… (left, right, left, right, right, down an alleyway…)
- Purchased mangos, kiwis, asparagus, and more at the aforementioned market.
- Cooked an awesome dinner of stir-fried garlic chicken and veggies with rice noodles.
We are having an amazing time adventuring together, and are heading to orientation tomorrow! Enjoy the pictures below!

I remember going to London a couple of months ago! Glad to see that the weather’s cleared up; it was rainy and miserable when I went 😛
It’s pretty gorgeous here, but we are prepared for rain this Monday. It’s a Bank Holiday, and has notoriously rained here on that day every year in memory.
