Today It Snowed In London!

This weekend was a pretty mellow. It stared off by me agreeing to work on Friday at etv. The new channel launched this weekend, so they needed a lot of help on Friday getting ready for it. Then after work, in pure English tradition, I went to the pub with a few girls from etv. It was fun to hang out with some Londoners and to hear all about what they thought of American culture compared to British culture. I think we all might go out again soon! When I got home after the pub Ashley, Alyssa, Lindsay, and I decided to go to a dance club in Camden. It was a lot of fun because it was "pump it up" night, which meant that they played a bunch of cheesy 80's and 90's music, haha.

Saturday morning was amazing because I finally got to sleep in for the first time in weeks! Once I did wake up I went shopping with Ashley and Lindsay on Brick Lane, which has a lot of cool vintage shops. I bought a cute brown leather skirt.

February 1st is the Chinese new year, so today we went to Chinatown and saw a parade, dancers, and ate Chinese food. It was really cold out, but fun! Then today it snowed in London! It didn't start until this evening, but we already have at least 4 inches of snow on the ground, which is really rare for London. We're hoping it's enough to get a snow day tomorrow, but I don't think we have much of a chance.

Here is a link to some cool pics of London covered in snow!
