I started writing this post thinking that I could somehow figure out how to explore and explain London’s area guides sequentially but I GIVE UP THEIR NAMING SYSTEM IS MAD.

London: The V&A and Harrods
The thing about British museums is that many of them are packed with goodies to see and admire. One museum can easily fill up a day (or two!) so it’s no wonder that we took so long to finally check out the Victoria and Albert Museum. In the Victoria and Albert Museum (hereafter the V&A)…
London: The Who Shop
*doo doo doooooo doo doo dooooo… do do do… do do do* That was my impression of the Doctor Who theme. I know, I’m a prodigy.
Scotland: Glasgow (part 3)
Our last full day in Scotland began on a misty morn, at the top of a lighthouse in the city. And without fail, over the radio of a passing car below, we heard the unmistakable strains of a bagpipe singing goodbye.

First stop at the first half-break…
The London Life (After 4 Months)
Or rather, the Greater London Area life after 4 months as a teacher married to another teacher. Life doesn’t always turn out the way you’d expect it to. For example, a year ago, I did not know that I’d be getting married so soon, nor that I’d be teaching in London. Funny how life does…
