Yesterday I went to see Hamlet in London starring Jude Law. When I first bought my ticket there was one certainty–Jude Law’s sexiness. I was uncertain about his acting. It’s not that he is not a great actor, but I feared that he might be cocky and not adequately display Hamlet’s madness. However, once he [...]

Afternoon De-Light
June 28, 2009

My flatmates and I decided that we needed to check out Afternoon Tea while we’re living in London. However some of the prices are in the 50 [...]

Date Night: Romeo & Juliet
June 11, 2009

London’s Tube Strike
June 11, 2009

Essentially the stone is an early version of what we call a press release today. To me, the Rosetta Stone represents the spirit of the communications industry [...]
London by Bike
June 1, 2009
While London is certainly too big to be a walking city, it’s a wonderful city for cyclists. With expansive parks and cycle lanes throughout the streets cycling about London is lovely. Since the traffic moves in the opposite direction from what most of us are used to, I would recommend taking a bike tour through [...]

Britain’s Got Talent
May 30, 2009
Currently, I’m in my flat watching the finals of Britain’s Got Talent with my flatmates. I’m so glad that my arrival to London coincided with the semi-finals, as it’s becoming a worldwide sensation. For those of you that aren’t in on the scoop from across the Atlantic, Britain’s Got Talent is a variety show similar to [...]
