A Day in London!


Hello all!
Fantastic day today in the city! I LOVE my host family!! Ahman took me to a show filming today, it's called Loose Women and it is pretty much the British Version of The View.  Max Beesley was on the show, a British actor who is quite cute...he used to date Scary Spice.  We then walked to Chinatown, apparently it is much better than the one in San Francisco.  I had some amazing bbq pork with rice...so delicious!  We then walked around in the Oxford Circus area, a busy shopping district in central London, with loads of cheap cheesy souvenirs.  We stopped in Starbucks for a bit of people watching (...lots of interesting people in the London) and met a crazy woman who was upset that she couldn't use my chair to hold her bags.  Nutter. (Thats right, I said Nutter...I have already adapted my language to that of the British...it's a weird tick, I can't help it....).  From Starbucks we walked to the bus stop and caught the 55 bus back to Leytonstone, which is where the house is located! I got to see a lot of areas around London including some not so desirable ones that were advertised on Airbnb as "trendy".  Thank God for Ahman!  I could not be happier with my host family.  I find them both to be endlessly entertaining and kind.  As for my Rhubarb yogurt addiction...still as strong as ever....I walked yesterday in the rain to Tesco to get some.  Well, its 11pm here so I should sleep.  All the pictures that you see are all the pictures that I have taken...fail.  I will try to take more today!!!!
I love you all and miss you already!!
