Hey:) I didn't love London when I first moved there either, but after I got used to the place it kind of grew on me (though, there are still other cities that I would rather live...) You should check out the Covent Garden Market (downtown) when you have time...It's pretty sweet, AND in the winter time they have an outdoor skating rink! Also, if you are ever interested in Karaoke, try Wit's End (near Masonville Mall) on Thursday's at 10:00. Anyway, I hope that things work out okay for you :)

i just went to Covent Garden Market a couple of days ago and it was great! any other golden suggestions? Did you discover any good thai or indian places while you were here?

[aniranda]

Yeah, I basically lived at Covent Garden during 2nd term when I was the musical director for an Original Kids show (their theatre is on the upper floor). As for indian restaurants, Matt and I ate at Jewel of India a few times and we really liked it. It's on Richmond Street, close to Dundas. I also really like Jambalaya, which is Thai/Carribean/Cajun food. There is a lot of spicy stuff there, but also a few mild options. It's also on Richmond, across from Mongolian Grill (also good), and it's in a house. I've also heard that Under the Volcano (also on Richmond) is good, but I never ate there, and I'm not sure what kind of food they have. So, basically, go to Richmond St. and check out the restaurants along there. There is also a really good (somewhat pricey) restaurant attached to Covent Garden, but I'm not sure what it is called

OH, and if you're looking to go out for a movie, but don't want to pay full price, check out the Rainbow Cinemas...they're in the Galleria Mall downtown.

Ooooh, and go to Angelo's sometime...there are 3 of them in London. It's like, this giant Deli, and you can get really good desserts there, and have lunch there and eat gelato.

Okay, that's it for the suggestions from me :)

[leahlee]

that's great, sounds like i have more exploring to do!

[aniranda]

Well, Matt and I made a point of going to a different restaurant every week from about February - April, so I've been around :)

thanks for the suggestions carmen! i went to covent garden market, it is indeed super nice... a bit expensive though. and thanks for the karaoke suggestion, someone was just asking me whether i knew a place to go! hope chatham life is good :)

[aniranda]

I'm glad you liked my suggestions! Yeah, covent garden market can be expensive, but you can also find some good steals there if you look hard enough! And a lot of the produce is local and/or organic, which is nice.
