UK Journal: Day 11 11/Aug/10 Wed




We got off at Temple station. Steve said that was the first time he's ever gotten off at the station. Temple is a district with law firms and legal institutions. That's also where Bridget Jones got the exclusive interview in the first film.


On the way, we accidentally found a nice place called Somerset Palace, which I didn't realize until later that there was a scene in "Sense and Sensibility" being shot there.


We walked to the famous Covent Garden, where the biggest Apple store just opened at. There were a few street acts, including a guy sings opera to the costumers at a restaurant.


We checked the price of Les Misérables at TKTS, there were only evening tickets available at the time. As we finally decided to see it while having surprisingly good wongtong soup and bubble tea at a Peking bistro in China Town, they were sold out when we got back. We found a Taiwanese Restaurant with a quite authentic menu but not so authentic price though.


So we walked along to Oxford St. and went back to Piccadilly Circus again since I missed the famous demonstrating board the last time. It was already the evening, so it looked nice in a different way. We had dinner at one of the cheap-ish pub restaurant called "Moon in the River" in Leicester Square. The burger was pretty good with a decent price.
