Weekend in a Nutshell

As the warm autumn weather continues, we take advantage of our friends, London, and some British sport.

Friday
1. No hot water! Yikes! Call landlord! Pump needs to be fixed? Move to the Marriot on Regent's Park. Weird, yes ,but I loved their super comfy bed and soft as silk sheets!

2. Jin for Korean--old friends, new friends. 8 of us altogether. Lots of bbqed beef, pork, and veggies not to mention too much Soju and Bek Se Ju drank with cheers all around. There were five different "cheers" represented at the table from Germany, Sweden, Israel, Serbia, and Switzerland!!!

3. Carbon bar--Catching up with friends we haven't seen in forever. Love this place and its drink list, music and industrial design. Many more drinks consumed. Yikes!


Saturday
1. Wake up-Where am I? Missed our wake up call and haul it to get back to our flat to meet the plumber who will be fixing our broken hot water pump.

2. SLEEP!

3. Rugby and middle Eastern--Head to a friend's flat to watch the rugby match. No cabs so we take an unexpected ride in a wonderful rickshaw down Park Lane. England claims a victory over France! Eaten over some yummy Iraqi cuisine. Long live the Queen!

4. Ride the night bus back home (for the first time ever) and listen to England celebrating in the background.


Sunday
1. Head to Phat Phuc for the best Vietnamese cuisine in London. The best beef pho I've ever had with notes of cinnamon in the broth. We also discovered they have great duck pancakes and shrim dim sum.

2. Walk down the King's Road and revel in the Sunday sunlight. Errands and some girlie shopping at Space NK apothecary.

3. Thai at the Blue Elephant coming up.

4. Back to school....
