Today Janet (my roommate) and Kyle (my boyfriend) and I went shopping in Oxford Circus. It's the London equivalent of New York's Fifth Avenue or Chicago's Magnificent Mile, and today it definitely lived up to its name. In January, all the stores in London have enormous sales, so I expect it was even more busy today than usual. Even on sale, though, things were still pretty expensive. (see previous post)
We had lunch at a place called Pret a Manger. It's a chain that's all around London with really good sandwiches and pastries for a reasonable price, about 3.50 pounds for a sandwich. Yum! Apparently you have to pay more if you want to eat inside English restaurants like that, though, so we took ours outside and walked a couple blocks to Soho Square. We rounded a corner and all of a sudden it was like we were in a different city: everything was so peaceful and quiet. It was a very good lunch, especially since it was sunny and fairly warm today.
Tonight we're probably going to make pasta for dinner. I can't wait.
À demain!
