Changing of the Guard and Buckingham Palace

We did some sightseeing today. The weather was in the 60's and not too much sun so it was a good day for it. The first week of classes is not "mandatory" because we have the option to attend all of the five classes to decide which to take. As I already decided which ones I am taking, today I took a sabbatical. Don't worry folks, studies are important too. Kids, stay in school. Anyway, Ahmed and I took the tube down to a park, not sure which one because there are three right next to each other, and went to the changing of the guard. Evidently, it is a big to do here. I was not very impressed, probably because the view was not all too good, as you can see in the video. However, it was interesting. Apparently, they do this every day at 11:30 am and as it conflicts with my class schedule, today seemed like the right time to do it. We walked around and shot some pictures, which will be posted, in my album. We took the tube back towards our dorms to get some lunch. We decided we would get off at the stop past King's Cross. It was called Caledonia Road (I think). Mistake. There was no food here other than the little dineresque place where we were greeted by a skinny middle-aged black guy and a white woman, who for lack of better words, looked like she was "road hard and put away wet." 1 - Dr. Candice Pickens, Life's Little Sayings, Forever. Well both of these marvelous individuals were extremely hammered, mind you it's Tuesday at 1pm, and arguing on the little patio. After I snuck in to use the restroom these scallywags were now making out on the said little patio, struggling to keep each other from falling into the buses whizzing by. As we made our stealthy departure we decided we would catch the tube back to 'our side of town' not before Ahmed, had to get a KitKat. As I was waiting outside of this little shop these two British kids were walking into the store. I caught eyes with one of them and as he got close, he said "Whut?" I responded with the "what's up" line. As his glance hardened, he replied "nuthin is up" and continued muttering in what I could not be convinced was a form of English. After the patio love quarrel and what I am sure would have led to a shanking by two 14 year olds, we got back on the train. After a quick lunch at the Chinese restaurant within sprinting distance to our dorm, I am safe, reflecting for you. All in all, a pretty exciting day in the city of London. Until next time...
