ONE MONTH Complete

T.G.I.F!

(I'm starting to slack on the photo taking. Luckily, if Niall is around I can at least use his iPhone)

Today Niall decided to take us out to dinner since it's Friday, I've finished my first full working week, and I've been here one month today :)
We decided to have some delicious Pizza Express



We both ordered the "Diavolo" Pizza which comes with loads of peppers :)
Of course Niall being a weirdo, his was cheese-less.

Outside Pizza Express. 
We took those little stairs on the left side up to the bridge.
On our way here we walked through the tunnel...which has these awesome lit up strips of sparkly multi colored lights on the sidewalk. You can see them here a little (It's the glowy blue light on the ground)

I tried taking a closer photo but you can only capture so much on a camera phone at night :/

This was London a looooong time ago.
This part of London is now called "The City of London"
It's only a little over a square mile and there is sooooo much history here.
It goes back to the Romans, Anglo Saxons, etc.
When entering the "City of London" you get these cool dragons


Anyway. Looking down at London Bridge Station.
You can see the training going past on top. Can you see it?

OK. So when Melissa and I first came to London, the first main train station we walked into was Kings Cross. When we walked in, there was this huge room with people all looking up in the same direction. 
It looked like they were hypnotized! It's a weird and funny image. Just picture hundreds of people all looking in the same direction. We were thinking what the heck is everyone looking at???
Well, in order to know what platform you have to get on for your specific train, you have to look at this timetable that tells you where to go.
There's many of them and I still can't figure them out! This is one of the smaller ones:
Oh and as if this wasn't confusing enough, everything is in military time! ugh.
One of these days I'll snap a photo of the opposite view ;)

  2. YES! THEY EAT EVERYTHING with a fork and knife. It's sooo annoying! It's ridiculous to eat thin pizza with a fork and knife. I tried but eventually I was like: This is BS! Im eating it with my hands!
