I've finished my finals already, but unusually early. So to help maintain the sanity of my flatmates and friends, yesterday I got up and cooked a big pancake brunch for the group. Bisquick is actually available in London, and a bit of Cinnamon sugar sweetened the deal. We feasted quite well, and then they went of to study...again.
So in the afternoon, another friend who is post-exams and I went exploring. We decided to head over to Canary Wharf, the new (well, "new" might be relative. Early 2000s is when it really built up) part of London, which is the centre of finance and banking. Not necessarily the time in banking's history, but still a great, though LONG walk. Our route (you can drag the map to see the whole thing, and possible zoom in to see the satellite view of the wharf):

The walk took about 2 hours, but we ended up in a part of London that felt like a completely different city--planned, modern, and highly highly technologically advanced, with and underground mall that covered the whole former-docklands area.
We next (thankfully) bussed to Bricklane and wandered around for about an hour, seeing a bit of early-Saturday evening club life, before meeting at a friends flat for homemade SPICY Indian food. Good food, good friend, good chatting, and then I went back to my flat and...slept. Haha. Not the most exciting Saturday night, but definitely needed.
Today is promising to have another big exploration, so hopefully and update tomorrow. Best to all!
