Markets'r'us

An update from Sunday, after leaving the internet Cafe, I managed to find myself in a place called Covent Garden. Very nice little market with overpriced shops and entertainment in the courtyards. One asian guy with a really cool looking string instrument that he played with a pick that was like a fingernail extension. The music was very good and had a lot of feeling in it.. until he stopped to check his cell phone...have you heard of handsfree?

There was this duo performance by http://www.charliethe2nd.com/ They were really good, took the audience in to play various parts. Had the cutest little kid help them out, they used him as a coat stand...I'll get the pics up when I have a moment. It was very cute.

Wandered around the market some more, still trying to find a wallet that has a chain on it.. I can find the ones that have eyelets, but they aren't very good ones. I'll keep looking...

So I kept on procrastinating about leaving, and finally find my way to the Toob station.. and lo and behold... I catch a glimpse of heaven....yup, you guessed it.. The French Connection Store...mmm....FCUK..Shopping!!! so I wander in to take a look around my favorite store.. nothing jumped out right away, but as I walked in the store, I see someone from Calgary...what a freakin small world eh? so we chat, a friend of hers is moving to Dubai and it was just so strange to run into someone like that...what a coincidence.

anyways, I left the store, couldn't find any decent shirts..they don't have that much of a selection. Came back, got ready and went to khane. Got the grand tour of the facility ... it's a very nice and beautiful centre. If you are in London, I recommend checking it out. It's At the South Kensington Tube station and they have tours during the day. The Ismailia Centre.

Ate at some dive chinese place with a cold all you can eat buffet... yech.. came home and passed out.
