things i didn't think i'd see in america...



on wednesday i went shopping in china town with my friend jessica - she lives round there. it's not realy like chinatown in london, i mean it is similar in the way that there are lots of chinese things there, but very different in the way that you actually feel like your in china at some points! all the signs are in chinese, you don't know what you're buying at some points... it's mental.
sophy and i have been watching this show on 'the travel channel' called 'bizarre foods - with andrew zimmern'. it's basically this bald fat american fella wandering about various countries around the globe munching his way through the oddest foods that he and his guides can find. he really does put some very wierd things in his mouth. all this taken in to consideration - it's my new favourite show!
so whilst i was meandering around the 'hong kong supermarket' on wednesday i was kinda pleased and suprised to find some of the 'foods' that andrew zimmern had eaten...
duck tongues, live frogs and goose kidneys to mention just three!
these are all going to be added to my 'things i didn't think i'd see in america' list.

on sunday we went to the lodge and got a bit pissed in the morning!!!



on sunday we went to this wicked old school diner to have 'breakfast'... it didn't end up being 'breakfast' as they took ages bringing us our eggs and banana pancakes. but to compensate they bought us more of our respective drinks (sophy = mimosa, laurence = bloody mary) and therefore we got a bit pissed!
we then wandered round bedford avenue in williamsburg and looked at the wares that various people were sellin'
we had a nice time.
