I spent my 23rd birthday in Paris with my mother, who could ask for anything better!

Afternoon De-Light
June 28, 2009
Now you’re probably thinking of Will Ferrell in Anchorman, but it’s likely opposite. Afternoon De-Light is the posh Metropolitan hotel’s take on the British tradition of Afternoon Tea. 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
Last night I went on a date, a date with myself to see a production of Romeo & Juliet in Covent Garden at St Paul’s The Actor’s Church. Every once in a while it’s nice to spend some quality time with yourself exploring a new neighborhood, trying a new restaurant or seeing a show. The [...]

May 20, 2009
I landed in London yesterday morning at around 8 a.m. My comments will be admittedly superficial as I have only been here for a day. However, I want to start writing about my experience early. If I don’t, 12 weeks will go by, and I’ll sit here thinking that I meant to blog about it. [...]
