Jan 23 - 24

So, on Wednesday after our class we went to Leicester sq. to buy some tickets for a show. We ended up buying tickets for Avenue Q for only 16.25 pounds, normally like 40. We walked over to trafalger sq. and took A LOT of pictures with the lions hahaha. Walked along the strand until we got to Somerset House. They had this skating rank set up, so we did that for an hour. It was really pretty and the even though the ice was starting to melt, it was really nice! But then some guy fell and hit his head, the paramedics came, blood was on the ice, so... we left. We looked at some exhibits in Somerset House, then made our way to London School of Economics (for Amy).
Had dinner and then went back to Leicester Sq. They were having a premiere for the Bucket List so we just randomly stayed. After like an hour of standing in a crowd of pushy people, we saw Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman! It was really exciting and I almost fell over because people were TOO excited.
After that we went to our show which was nearby. Avenue Q started out in the US and its this play with people that control these Muppets. Its really witty and supposed to be kind of like a parody of lilke the muppets/sesame street? But it was really funny and we had pretty good seats! Meaning not all the way in the furthest balcony.
Thursday night we went to this Bangladeshi restaurant near our school. It was really random... we kind of just wanted Indian food so we all ordered curry, except some "traditional Bangladeshi starter" It was OK... it had some like beans and was spicy... I don't know. The waiter was really nice though and was very confused when we said we were from America. My Lamb curry was REALLY hot , but still good.
Meanwhile, we were planning all of our trips... so stressful!
