This was everything I flew here with: bike, clothes, mandolin, computer, etc.
Before class started, the international students got to take a free trip on the London Eye thanks to the RCA!
I love the distortion caused by the eye pods. No photo-trickry here.
On the rare chances I had a day off, I would try to go to a museum. This is the British Museum.
I grew up to photos and drawings of all of these Egyptian artifacts!
Mmmm Mackintosh stuff.
We also went to a foundry for another field trip.
It snowed in the first week of February. It was the most London got in 16 years, I believe. Everything shut down. Everything.
The view from my window.
When I came back from my Easter break, London was green again! This was the new view from my window!
I went to a picnic on Primrose Hill.
With an amazing view.
And I biked back along the canal, through Little Venice.
I had a birthday during the school year for the first time that I can remember. I share the birthday with my flatmate Matt, and Rich’s was 3 days earlier.
(Note my NYC subway map in the upper right corner.)
It was a hell of a busy week, but I took the evening off to see Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
I love stupid British signs and signals. For a city that’s been around so long, the directional and informational signage is pretty rubbish.
Here’s a photo of New York City from my flight out on my Easter break. The black and white reminds me of a Margaret Bourke-White photo. I miss that amazing city.
