London: markets and sightseeing tours

My final days of London involved Camden Market (clothes!), Borough Market (food!), a River Thames boat tour and a London Eye Flight. Scenic photos coming soon, but for now, enjoy videos :)

London is not Paris

I walked for 5-6 hours today. Walked down Portobello Road Market and saw all the vintage and antique stores. Found my new favorite store in London, All Saints, and spent far too much money there. Also walked High Street Kensington for a few hours.. It was a long day of shopping before I headed off to enjoy St. John’s for dinner with Jill!

Several times today, I found myself answering people in French. Kind of silly :) I’m also finding myself rather annoyed by the British accent right now, not sure why.

Back in London.. It just doesn’t have that Parisian charm, but it does have more good friends!

Went to Montmartre today, location where they filmed one of my favorite films, Amelie! In other notable occurrences, Tim and I were asked to be on TV for a late night talk show host in France. A clip at the end of the video:

Paris, Day 3 & a story

// May 25th, 2010 // No Comments » // Everyday, Video Blogs

Yesterday I went to Champs-Elysse, which my friends told me was the most beautiful street in the world. However, there was a 2 day farmers event going on and Champs-Elysse was filled with trees, plants and farmers booths, as well as crammed pack with people. While we were there, I went into Laduree, the most famous pastry and macaroon shop in all of Paris.

Here’s a special bonus: a French story as told by Cesar, Tim’s cousin.

London, Day 6: streets

// May 21st, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Everyday, Video Blogs

I’m starting to feel lonely here in London. Mostly because I’m working during the day and don’t really have anyone to talk to that I know fairly well.. So I’ve been keeping up the “meet new people” persona and it’s getting tiring. Luckily, I am going to Paris tomorrow and will be having 5 fun days with Tim, Bastien and Victor :)
