This past weekend we paid a visit to Chinatown to have Dim Sum at a little place called Gerrard's Corner. The visit was in honor of my flat mate Laura, who turned 20 on the Saturday. What better way to leave behind the teen years than to eat random friend dumplings filled with "I'm not quite sure but I'll give it a go"? My thoughts exactly. It was the first time I've visited London's Chinatown properly. The hanging red lanterns were very pretty, and managed to give nineteenth century western architecture an oriental twinge. Below is the Birthday Girl - all grown up, isn't she?
We rounded out the day by visiting Piccadilly Circus and exploiting the massive Going Out Of Buisness sale currently plaguing entertainment mega-chain Zavvis. How I cursed that British DVDs are a different regional code than the US's... All in all, a very nice day out and about in the city. Note the blue skies! Below is a very pretty fountain right in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
