My bathroom is called a “wet room”. Why, you ask? Because there’s no shower curtain around the tub, so when I shower, the whole room gets wet. Bloody brilliant concept, if I do say so myself. It would be fine, but I don’t like getting my business socks wet.<\/p>\n

So after two days of “wet room”, I ventured up north of my flat to a busier part of Ealing, where I found a department store called Argos. This place is much different than American department Stores, because the store is about as big as the inside of a Dunkin Donuts. You walk in to a bunch of catalogs lined up on the counter, you write down codes on a piece of paper, then you pay for it, they give you a number, and then your stuff is brought up and they call your number deli-style and you pick up your stuff. I am now the proud owner of a shower curtain. No more wet business socks.<\/p>\n

Thoughts for the past couple of days:
\n1. I saw the most amazing rainbow today coming back from the department store, but by the time I got home and grabbed my camera, it was mostly gone. I took some photos anyway. (see picture below)
\n2. I’ve been here three days, and it’s rained two days. The five day forecast calls for rain, rain, rain, rain, and rain.
\n3. Also, in the three days here, I’ve gone out to pubs three times and watched a lot of football. Not American football, although I found a TV channel which will play American sports live, like Monday Night Football, at 1:30am London Time. In between plays, they cut to a studio where a British sportscaster and an American expat ramble on the action. Good news: the Giants are coming to London in October to play the Dolphins. Bad news: cheapest tickets are \u00a3200 ($400).
\n4. I’m beginning to really like tea.<\/p>\n

Goals for the upcoming days: Find good Indian food, ride a double decker bus, and go do touristy stuff.<\/p>\n

Picture 1: Rainbow (unfortunately, the brilliance of it faded by the time I got home and got my camera).
