Day Two

There's something wrong with my bed frame such that it always makes me feel like I'm going to roll off to the left and off my bed. It's really disorienting.

Yesterday we went to Regent's Park, which is right down the street from our flat. Then Maddie and I went to Wembley Stadium to watch the England v. Czech Republic friendly (2-2, with a really dumb sort-of-goal by England during the time added on). It was pouring on the field and nobody was too impressed by England's performance, which I guess are two pretty essential parts of being an English football fan. The stadium is gorgeous, although transportation to and from is a chore considering just how many English people use the tube. But mounted police officers were able to break the tens of thousands of people-sized mass into more manageable groups, and the ride back to downtown London wasn't packed at all.

Oh, and I think that the tendency to walk and use public transportation in London makes it a prime place for zombie movies at a level that only malls (and maybe New York) can really achieve in the states. That giant Wembley mass certainly made me think so at least.

We befriended an Oberlin student! His name is Madhav and he's from Delhi.

Also, I'm going to put my photos online here. Most I'll probably post on this blog but there might be some extras.
