Shuffle & Shift

I'm in love with London already! I know it's only been a day but I feel like I could see myself living here for at least a couple of years sometime in the future. We'll see though - that won't be for another while now.

Nimmy and I are venturing around town to some of her favourite spots in the city today. The best thing about knowing someone local when you are traveling is that you get a more real feel of what the city is really all about. She took me market shopping on the east side to Brick Lane. The streets were lined with vintage shops and markets selling everything from houseware to fur coats to retro tees and handbags. It's also the type of vintage that isn't paired with a heart stopping price tag (in most cases). We spent a couple hours window shopping and then grabbed a burger at one of Nimmy's favourite joints: The Big Chill Bar.  

We then made our way to King's Cross train station to pick up her friends Rossy who was also coming down for the weekend from Newcastle.

Tonight we're going to a party called Shuffle to see Shardai deejay. Their whole group of friends is really into dance music and many of them have started deejaying. Shardai started a few years ago and is now amazing on the tables. 

I'll add more to these entries when I get back to Paris. I only get a few minutes a day on the computer so I'm just trying to give you the outlines. Pics to come, as well.

Love you all!
