London report
shopping spree
- 22 dvd (that terrible Hiss Maar Veel)
- 11 books
- 8 manga
- 5 graphical novels
- 4 magazines
- 1 game: The King in Yellow, the new extension to Arkham Horror
- 1 grey jacket (in sales, yay: 50% reduction)
food
I thought being with nine would give some problems to find something to eat, especially if you didn't make reservations, but it wasn't.
We went to an Italian restaurant, to wagamama (so Japanese) and an Indian restaurant.
yummie food.
the company
Walking around London with nine crazy Flemish people is fun.
Having coffee in Starbucks and lunch in an Indian restaurant with a Brit is great. We will definitely have to do it again kirruth ! But now we forgot the Jackal!!!
musical
We went to a musical of course. You might be surprised we went only to one musical, but we didn't have time for more.
We saw the Lord of the Rings musical. It was awesome. Okay, they had to cut a lot, but you expect it: making a musical of three hours out of the three books... But it worked. The continuity in the story was maintained. The costumes were great, the decor was great, the music was great. One downside: there wasn't enough music. The music was very good, but they didn't sing enough. It was more a play with a few songs.
Those who want to see some of the decor and costumes, or hear a song, go to: LOTR
