After a 2½ hour flight from Vienna to
London Gatwick Airport, I spent a further 1½ hour on a bus which took me to
FBDY (Fulham Broadway), a shopping mall/underground station near my friend's house. Then after another ½ hour wait, I finally met up Jessie :) We quickly visited
Sainsbury's to purchase some fruit and household necessities, and there I had my first realisation of how expensive everything is in London. £1 (= NZD$2.60) for a bag of eight tiny mandarins - and this was supposed to be an on-sale price! Anyway, after grocery shopping we headed back to her house - on a double-decker bus! I suggested we stay in and cook dinner instead of eating out because I was too lazy.
Pan-fried Japanese gyouza with sour plum dipping sauce - beyond delectable!
