Sorry for laptop potato. My DSLR is still in the shop getting repaired. I'll try to narrate videos from my phone camera, since that seems to be better. Learning! :)
Another huge thanks to Christelle for making my day!

Pretty Cool
I've seen some great things while in London... but to me, they all seem like little nibbles out of one big cake. So I present to you: the cake.
Apologies for the potato. I hope to get my camera repaired soon. Until then: cell phone to the rescue.

A Guide
Yesterday, I joined several friends in celebrating Independence Day from overseas -- and in doing so, made this handy dandy guide.

Being an American...
... in a foreign country gets me a lot of attention.
At a club, walking through a crowd to get fresh air:
Me: Excuse me.
Guy: Oh, you're an American!
Me: How could you tell?
Guy: You have an accent.
Me, with sass: No, you have an accent.
In Primark:
Me: Where can I go to try on these pants?
Clerk: You mean trousers?
At a Pret:
Me: I'd like some of those chips please.
Cashier: We don't have any chips.
Me, picking up a bag of potato chips: No, these chips.
Cashier: Oh, right, crisps.
How does this make me feel?

Machiavelli Kitchen
A few of the ladies and I were kind of peckish, so we set off on the town in search of drinks and dessert.
We landed at Machiavelli Kitchen & Dining Room, a sleek restaurant that was starting to close. They served us anyway. We giggled with a Swiss man who shared the table with us. Then, floating on the evening, took the tube home.

The City that Enjoys a Good Rest
One big difference I've noticed between London and New York City is that London takes a good long time to rest.
Case in point: I've been trying to locate a Vodafone that will help me enable my cell phone to operate overseas, but for the last couple days, they've opened when I head to class and close when I leave class.
Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. The area outside my dorm is quiet. I can take a walk undisturbed in the early mornings. I feel safe in the evenings. I'll find time for my phone another day. :B
