15 April : a day in Canary Wharf

Today, I spend the day with Alan. I cooked some spaghetti bolognaise to him and he showed me the place where he works and, by the way, that he knows well : Canary Wharf. I told you that this place was so near from my house... In fact, with the short cut, we need only 4 minuts to be there!

We eat in an chinese restaurant. It's a boat on the water...!
And... it's official : I don't like chinese food! :) I always believed that I eat in bad chinese restaurants, but, even if we were in a good chinese restaurant, with only chinese customers, and I was with a chinese guy and with Alan who is in love with a chinese girl (and with China)... all the food they propose to me was so disgusting for me...

(Oui, je sais, ça peut paraître bizarre de se faire un resto après avoir mangé des spaghetti, mais ici à Londres, les gens mangent tout le temps, à n'importe quel moment de la journée!)

After that, we walk, enjoying the sun and talking... before to take a coffe in a place called Zizzi!
It's a chain of italian restaurants

13 April : Friday night at Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes



I convinced Audrey to come with Matthias and I to drink a beer and dance in the area of Brick Lane. Matthias show us one of the various places that he really like : a bar named Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes... At the begining there was 2 shops (bags and shoes shops... I guess :) ) and they keep the names of the shops when they create the bar. It was soooooo coooool! Ragga DJ, dancefloor with crazy (and fashion) girls!!

11 April : Busaba Eathai - Tower Bridge by night

Les parents d'Audrey, ma coloc française, étaient à Londres. Enfin, sa mère et son beau-père. J'ai été dîner avec eux. Sa maman est tellement jeune, fraîche et dynamique! C'est un tel contraste avec Audrey qui est "saoûlée" par tout et qui "roooh... putain" en a "marre" de tout et surtout : n'aime rien!

Vu qu'elle "déteste" Canary Wharf où ses parents avaient trouvé un chouette hôtel, on est allé mangé à Soho, au Busaba Eathai, un resto thaï délicieux et convivial. Ce sont de grandes tables, donc à moins d'arriver à 6 ou 8, on partage une table avec des inconnus... ce que j'adore!

Ensuite, on est allé voir Tower Bridge by night! :)
