I'm Still Here.

Hello all. Updates since my last post on Thursday. Thursday evening we went to Camden Town. It's a little part of London north of where I am staying. Camden Town has a bunch of restaurants and pubs. We just walked around there for a while. Friday a group of us went and saw the last Harry Potter. It was pretty good but I must say, I am quite relieved it is over. It feels like this phenomenon has over-stayed its welcome. After the movie I came back and did some reading and took it easy Friday night. Saturday I did some more reading. I really wanted to go to a jazz club on Saturday and did my best to recruit a couple people to go with. Come to find out, a group had already decided to go out. So I tagged along. We didn't leave here until 11pm and by the time we got to the place they had reserved, it was 11:40. Something came up with the pricing, I think it was the old bait and switch maneuver, but everyone decided they didn't want to pay the 15 pounds to go in. OK. So we left and walked to a number of other places which concluded with the same consensus as previously, no one wanted to spend the money to get in. It was really quite ironic that it was after midnight, on a Saturday, in London, and no one (more accurately, two individuals in particular) didn't want to pay to get in. As we were waiting for the other group to catch up with us, we landed on a place called Cafe de Paris. Wild. This place was really cool. It was decorated in an old burlesque motif and the dj even was playing cabaret tunes, decidedly club-i-fied. All in all it was really cool. Today marked the first day of the last two weeks of classes. Yay! I am anxious to get done with the classes but even more anxious to go to the real Paris. We leave Thursday morning and come back on Saturday. Bon au revoir, jusqu' à la prochaine fois...
